Christmas day shopping
Just been to Martins the newsagents in our local shopping centre and one of the staff was telling me they actually opened on Christmas day and we're really busy all the time . ( Double time was not paid to the staff ). I can't believe people would shop on Christmas day ,

Sorry Judd, but I don't really agree with that.
I understand what you say about those who may not wish to celebrate our festive season, but this is our country - and we do. Same as I would expect to honour another country's customs.
And what about the staff being made to work? What if they wanted to be with their families and enjoy their christmas dinner and a day's rest?
I don't see why anybody can't prepare for one day without a shop opening.
