Here's the UK confirmation.

Re: Religious Imposition.
It is seen today as something which is akin to racism......and as such, people button it rather than speak out.
I have absolutely no problem with shop workers getting a day off from the daily grind...whether it be for religious reasons or not. I can factor it into my life.And those who cannot do this have my deepest sympathy. |

Also I guess supermarket staff also get good holidays. My workplace gives them out in hours. So we can take a few hours here and there if we choose. So I think it is around 197 hours. In my opinion that is a good amount of holidays you can have with your family if you do choose to do so. |

Re: Religious Imposition.
And how would you go about getting rid of all religion? Feed them to the lions?

Re: Religious Imposition.
Right Rob......getting rid of religion.....religion is the basis of morality, ethics and law.
You are right when you say that it is beyond you to get rid of religion. And if you get rid of religion what will take its place? As for my comment on the world being a better place(or my bit of it) back when the shops closed midweek and on a Saturday afternoon......that has been taken out of context. What was meant by that(but completely escaped you - maybe it was the way I put it) is that back then there was a gentler pace of life....and life seemed less complicated. Perhaps you had to live it to understand what I meant. Yes the shops do have a diversity of staff so,it should, theoretically at least, be easy to get hands to man the pumps on a religious holiday......I have been there.....and believe me even though Muslims do not celebrate our Christmas.....none of them were keen to work it. Shopping can be done now 24 hrs a day...online. And you can shop in person every day of the year except Christmas Day and Easter Day.......and even on those days you can usually find a spar or other convenience store open.....so really, there is not much in the way of restriction. |
Re: Religious Imposition.
This is all a storm in a tea cup. Today Tesco and other supermarkets are open again, and I have got some more milk and toilet rolls in, so all is well with the world, although I have to admit that rationing toilet paper yesterday was a bit hit and miss.

Re: Religious Imposition.
It isn't even a storm...just an April shower.
