    Or hire other people. I thought there's a shortage of jobs at the moment. Other family members? Shift system?

    I work 8 hours a day and commute 5. I need to shop at the weekend - it's when I have my personal life.

    If others are prepared to prop up inefficient shops as they're cute then fine. I'm not.

    Did you miss the part where I said this is way too expansive for a one-man shop and that wages on Sunday are higher?
    And is your uncle/niece/nephew preperared to work on sunday for a wage way lower than the local superstore who will give him more?

    :Sigh: In short: I'm not for subsidising every business that otherwise would not otherwise function. You going to give jute farmers a helping hand as it's not a suitable crop for the UK?

    And finally, as Celtic Viking points out, this is utterly a red herring that I was using as an example of things I would be against having forced through due to religion. As it happens I'd be against some regardless of religion.

    My country isn't muslim one , merely secular with a lot of muslims. But that's right, wahhabi muslims try to steal every rights from non muslims, especially atheists.

    That anti atheists laws are enacted because political sentiments, as you can read in history, our founding fathers was dominated by secular muslims, christians, and atheists (stupid wahabi leaders can't got neither a lot of support nor diplomatic recognisement that time), and atheists in particular, are the one who spearhead the press for democracy (christians and secular muslims mostly only follows... Honestly). To curb their critical views of the governments, soeharto ban atheism. Simple.
