The Law prior to 1994.[edit]

Prior to 1994, the law required all shops in England and Wales to be closed on Sunday except that they could open for certain types of transaction. There was nothing that said that a small shop could open but not a large one. Also, there was a restriction on butchers opening in Scotland on Sunday. This needs correction 82.29.215.181 (talk) 19:52, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Emotive language?[edit]

As a Christian who nevertheless works Sundays, some of the language appears to me to be emotive and/or derogatory. Can it be cleaned up by someone who is neutral in this respect? Lstanley1979 (talk) 17:01, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

POV[edit]

This is so much POV. It barely discusses those who want to work on Sundays etc. It does try to, and in good faith (no pun there), but there are no citations for those wishing to work Sundays, and also the two middle grounds of either Christians who want to work on Sundays (vicars and bellringers do, after all), or plebs like me who like a Sunday off or to get extra money (a rarity these days to get paid overtime at all, I'm just used to working 80 hours to be paid 37). These need to be covered, if not in this article then referred to, or the whole article should be reduced specifically to that of the campaign and not the wider issues, which can move to Sunday shopping or something.

As you may see, I've added some citations and just done a little subbing and added links, I have NOT intended to change the meaning (if I have done so it is by accident and please correct it). However, I still think this stands as very POV at the moment.

Bias[edit]

There are definite citation and style issues with this articles. It is biased on many occasions, and contains little factual information... who knows of a good source on this subject? Robert Blankenship (talk) 02:20, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just another day[edit]

It was ironic that in the 1980's at the time when most shops were shut on a Sunday in Britain, in christian America, so many shops were open on a Sunday (it being a free choice). Also it was found that in Britain, over half of christians shopped on Sundays, in shops, in markets, etc. While almost all shops were kept closed on Sundays in Britain by the tyranny of the church, five million people worked in so many essential jobs.

When the change came about, a survey showed that instead of breaking up families, Sunday shopping meant it was a time when all the family could go out shopping together. After that, the tiny number of fanatical christians who had forced others to their will were largely ignored, and with the coming of multiculturalism to Britain with other religions, and the fact that now over half of British people are no longer christians, with churches closing every week, Sunday will never be a "special day" again.(185.181.236.222 (talk) 16:07, 2 May 2018 (UTC))[reply]
