I remember when Liverpool docks were operating nonstop.
I remember the motorways being built massive airport expansions.
So with all this activity and the word unemployment to my young ears never having been heard .... the world survived without shopping on Sundays.
That's fine, but the world and society moves on. Those industries no longer exist in the same form (sorry, stating the obvious I know). The services that we (the general term 'we' ) require are different. We're in the infancy of the 4th industrial revolution, society and it's services evolve or die.
I just don't think shopping on a Sunday is a terrible thing.
I would argue that the whole Boxing Day sales is unnecessary through.
