So you're on for working the Xmas holiday then whilst we all have it off?

I dont see why us who are not religious have to suffer closed shops and what have you just because of religion,it sucks.

Do you feel the same about Christmas too?
Do you have to be a capitalist to take a bank holiday?

Suffer ? you must live a charmed life if no shops for a day or two is suffering lol
so you would be happy to work on sundays and xmas day etc, i don't follow a christian religion but i'll take the holidays thank you.
Even if it means no shops

What exactly are you suffering from, the shops being closed for one day is hardly suffering, as sultana said the people who work in them are probably glad of the rest. Lots more things to do other than shop and you can always find one open somewhere for emergencys.

I do work on public holidays and thats what should happen with the shops over easter,after all its just another public holiday to me.

Define how not having an open supermarket for one day makes you suffer please. It's one day and you know ahead of time when it's going to be- what's such a hardship?

So really your just begrudging people a day off because you have to work, I have to work some bank holidays but to anyone who gets them off I say enjoy it.

Next year just get an extra loaf to see you through and stop moaning you miserable sod.

"Meadowhell" is shut today. :clap: yaay. ( :hihi: )

I don't really care because I've got lots of chocolate:thumbsup:

Did you forget your Gravy granules?? :hihi:

I don't think i've suffered at all. TBH, it's been great didn't have to take the wife out shopping.:banana::banana::banana:

I really fancied an Easter Egg but the shops are all shut :( :P

maybe suffer is too Strong a word but the inconvenience of not having anywhere open is not acceptable in the 21st century.
If you people who believe in Jesus want to celebrate it fine just dont see why those like me who couldn't care less are being inconvenienced.

Why are you happy meadowhells closed? .... If you dont like it, just dont go

There are plenty of corner shops and other outlets open. Not everyone is celebrating the birth of the Easter Bunny

The people who work in those shops are very glad of a rare day off though!

Yes they bloody are ... Although I booked this weekend off as it's my daughter's 21st!

When I want something I want it right away. Shop staff should be forced to work every single day regardless of all this religious crap, end of.

Come to California. Everything is open!

Besides, tomorrow, all Easter candies, cakes, chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, and marshmallow eggs will be 75% off. Whoo hoo!

There were lots of reduced items in Waitrose yesterday because it's closed today. I got some great bargains.

I dont see why us who are not religious have to suffer closed shops and what have you just because of religion,it sucks.

To see the state of Crystal Peaks on Saturday you would have thought the shops were shut for a week at least. They are only closed for one day for goodness sake, anyone can plan for that.

It is so sad we have nothing better to do than shop.

Get a life.

Alien for minister of shopping.

I went to Asda on Friday and it was like Xmas eve, do people have to stock pile because the shops are closed for one day.

This is an interesting view. Putting aside religion what about peoples time and ability to spend time with there loved ones when they are of work to ?.I worked in the retail industry for over 25 years and sore many changes to working hours and in my opinion this has been a grave mistake as i had much less time with my family and coursed heart ache at Christmas and not being able to see family and friends at things like weddings and parties and even funerals because i was working?. just spare a thought for those who have to work these hours when you want what you want. I know what your goings to say go get another job! easier said than done. I’ve done it and its not easy ! .

I'm often inconvenienced by not being able to buy some drawing pins or a Harry Secombe CD at 3.30 am.I therefore think that all shops should be open not only on Bank Holidays but 24 hours a day,365 days a year.You never know what you're going to want immediately

You live alone then???????

Well I was disappointed because, having had a go on a Wii yesterday I wanted to get one myself today. Today, because I had someone to take me to get it and set it up for me. They won't be here (in Sheffield) tomorrow.

Are they closed! I just bought some books from Amazon... As usual!

What happend to a thing called pationts

it took me a while but do you mean patience, I really need to know!

It sucks simple as that,I'm a customer and I expect some bloody service even on bank holidays,if this was the US you can bet your life they wouldn't put up with this carry on.

I can be patient, and indeed have to be, but I gave my reasons why it would have helped if it could have been today. My brother lives far from here and I now have to wait for his next visit, whenever that may be.

Fine. Feel free to emigrate.

If they'll have you.

Why do things always have to change.
In hind sight is it greener on the other side?

I remember when the shops were only open until 1pm on Sundays... Even though i'm not religious, I miss those days, Sunday was a nice day, it's now just another day!

There you are josh, you have given yourself the perfect solution. So if you have the answer why the hell are you winging to us.

So, in the US the shops TRUELY never close? At all?? Ever???????

I dont see why us who are not religious have to suffer closed shops and what have you just because of religion,it sucks.

Pathetic!

Dying of an incurable disease - thats's suffering!
Losing a limb in an accident - thats's suffering!
Going through a bereavement - that's suffering!
Living in a little caravan for 18 months because your home got flooded - thats suffering!
Getting horrific burns in a house fire, AND losing your home - that's suffering!

I'm sure we could think of a lot more!

By comparison, going without a loaf of bread or whatever - not even a minor inconvenience.

Easter ftw

Easter ftw

What?????????????????/

I dont see why us who are not religious have to suffer closed shops and what have you just because of religion,it sucks.

I just think you're being an arse for no reason and starting some sort of religion thread up.

You're telling me you suffer because a shop isn't open and you have a day or 2 off work?

There you are josh, you have given yourself the perfect solution. So if you have the answer why the hell are you winging to us.

So, in the US the shops TRUELY never close? At all?? Ever???????

The US has an array of public holidays (Martin Luther King Jr Day, for one) where most of the shops close, and that includes Easter. But then they'll have Jewish shop owners who close early on Fridays and all of Saturday every week and shop owners of other faiths who close on other sacred days.

So, the OP is just whinging and talking out of their proverbial.

Just be lucky we have Sundays as (barely) sacred nowadays.

Never mind the insults which says far more of you lot than does my post,NO ONE has answered my question why should those who dont believe in all this religious crap have to be inconvenienced?I wont hold my breath for a reply though,cus all you lot can do is name call,pathetic.

Just exactly how are you inconvenienced? There are plenty of shops open if you are desperate, what can't possibly wait until tomorrow?

The Sunday trading laws have only been relaxed over the past 20 years or possibly less. I'm assuming you are under the age of 25 and need everything now.

Instead of thinking of what you can buy next, why don't you just go out, get some fresh air and take some time to appreciate just how lucky you really are.

Sort it out kid, you really do come over like a spoilt brat.

I can just remember when virtually all shops were only open 9-5/5.30, closed half day Thursdays (or Wednesdays), and closed all day Sunday and all Bank Holidays.

If you lived alone and had a full-time job you would have had to do nearly all your food shopping for the week on Saturday.

I remember it well. I also remember that no-one needed to panic buy and prepared for when they were unable to go to the shops.

I managed to work out a way that meant I wasn't really inconvenienced for the Easter weekend. I either bought anything I needed on Saturday, or waited until after Easter. You should try it next year. Glad to have helped you.

Surely the answer's easy? All those who feel that the religious holidays we have in this (for the moment) Christian country are too much to bear should set up their own country/religion/currency/economy, move to it and be done. Simples.

Waaaheeeeyy the shops are open, there is a god. Its a shame it was all his fault they were closed yesterday anyway, him and workshy shop people.

I have to agree with josh,its really anoying when you cant get what you want when you want.

Do you believe that the shops are actually closed for religious reasons?
If they were you might (might) have a small point. They aren't though, they're closed because it's now a secular holiday, a weekend bracketed with two bank holidays (note the secular name of the days off). They close so that the staff can all enjoy a couple of days off. Your inconvenience doesn't matter to them since most shops follow suit.

I dont see why us who are not religious have to suffer closed shops and what have you just because of religion,it sucks.




In what way are you suffereing ?

The shops are only shut for one day, and it gives shop workers a chance to be with their loved ones.

Surely you can find something else to do. ITS ONE DAY.....YES.....ONE DAY without shops.

Double pay on Good Friday and Easter Monday! Yes thank you! And the Somerfield is open at the bottom of Derbyshire Lane pretty much all the time. So, even though I'm not religious, I'm quite happy to earn some extra spending money and take advantage of the holiday period! Stop moaning, you got nothin better to do?

Why do none believers need to suffer:- I assume you don’t believe in Farther Christmas does that mean you would have no objections to working on Christmas day.

It’s a good job that some don’t care because there are many people working even if the shops are closed.

You could say why should ppl suffer non believers I think everyone is entitled to there own opinion about easter and any other holiday.Or don`t you like a day off

OK, no insults or anything. Lets get down to the facts. Which shops were you wanting to be open and what did you want to buy? Having answered those questions it would then be best to stop complaining to us and complain to the managers of the shops concerned. The government set the bank holidays so they are the ones to complain to about them. Meadowhall was closed Sunday so the managers of Meadowhall are the ones to complain to. Its seems to be the simplest solution for some people to compalin about Christianity at the drop of a hat as thats the only religion that seems to be no longer protected by the racism law. So joshtetley give it a rest.

I've really suffered over this Easter long weekend, 4 days of doing nothing. I need to suffer like this some more. Thanks Christians for the holiday. Maybe the Jews, Muslims Pagans, and Hindus will pull their fingers out and get their days of worship declared a bank holiday.

Hopefully not all at the same time, preferably spread out throughout the year :thumbsup:

The main problem with that is that all the major religions tend to have their holy days at the same time of the year.

The main problem with that is that all the major religions tend to have their holy days at the same time of the year.

Not at exactly the same time though hopefully. Pagans worship summer and winter solstice for starters, so there's a bank holiday at the end of June and one a few days before Christmas; that'll help for the Christmas shopping. They also celebrate their new year at the 31st October, so in the interests of fairness there should be another one around then. Not bad for starters, now what about the other religions?

It sucks simple as that,I'm a customer and I expect some bloody service even on bank holidays,if this was the US you can bet your life they wouldn't put up with this carry on.

Get off your high horse and stop moaning. Buy in advance, or maybe just wait a whole 24 hours and god forbid you may not spend irresponsibly or actually still want it?!

Pagans, will pull their fingers out and get their days of worship declared a bank holiday.

Mayday Bank Holiday for starters :thumbsup:

Mayday Bank Holiday for starters :thumbsup:

It's branded as labour day or workers holiday around the world isn't it? Do you remember the Mayday parades through red square? But that is good as the socialists and the communists contribute to our bank holidays, we just need the non-Christian believers to step up to the plate.

Get off your high horse and stop moaning. Buy in advance, or maybe just wait a whole 24 hours and god forbid you may not spend irresponsibly or actually still want it?!

He's one of them people where he'll be moaning at work the holiday went too fast ect. Just a bloody moaning pain in arse.

I'm thinking of starting a religion in which the supreme deity will be the actress Tuesday Weld.It will of course require the government to recognise Tuesday as my sabbath and make that a public holiday every week.If I make a success of that I'm going to have a go at the cult of the Happy Mondays and before you know it we'll have half the week off.

I dont see why us who are not religious have to suffer closed shops and what have you just because of religion,it sucks.

All non believers should work as usual, even at Christmas; if they marry, no church service and when they die they should not have a religeous service of rememberance!
Have you had Easter off work and if you were denied working due to Easter, would you have wanted to work or rather had a holiday?

I do work on public holidays and thats what should happen with the shops over easter,after all its just another public holiday to me.

I suppose it is in your contract to work public holidays and if you do not like it, you should not have taken that kind of work.
I suppose you get paid extra for working public holidays and would not tell your boss that you did not want to get the extra time.

You know, with the ever increasing PC attacks on Christianity about Christmas and Easter celebrations and bank holidays I am getting to the opinion that ALL bank holidays should be cancelled and if Christians want to celebrate our Lord then they can take the time off to do so. That will stop the non-believers sponging off of our faith and then having the cheek to complain about it!!!

If you work on public holidays you should be paid more money,therefore you are benefitting financially. So what is the gripe all about?

No Idea, I think the non-believers are volunteering to work on religious holidays so they can carry on shopping.
Unless I'm mistaken and they don't really want to work religious holidays themselves, in which case its just a thread for hypocritical whinging.

I dont see why us who are not religious have to suffer closed shops and what have you just because of religion,it sucks.

If your caught short, nip into the church, somebody will sort you out. You don't have to stay in your box. You could even visit a temple or mosque.
A bit of human contact is good for you.

Absolutely agree alchemist! :)

Calm down. Hardly the end of the world, is it? I coped without a shop for the duration of the easter holiday and I am sure many other people did too.

Psst .. I work Bank Holidays and don't get paid extra .. nor do I get time off in lieu.

You obviously work for yourself then.!!!!!!!!!!

Nope .. I work in a country park .. holiday place ..

I went on Thursday, Friday and twice on Saturday.

Whilst i can empathise with the view that it's an inconvenience to not be able to worship at the altar of consumerism for a whole 24 hours (except of course via the internet); I'd hardly call it suffering.

Come to California. Everything is open!

Besides, tomorrow, all Easter candies, cakes, chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, and marshmallow eggs will be 75% off. Whoo hoo!

I agree with the Beach Boys, then. I wish they all could be Californian girls :)

We in this country get less public holidays than anywhere else in Europe. I don't care whether a holiday is religious, pagan or to praise the Great Pandjandrum - I just want more days off.

people believe in what they want yes it is an inconvenience if shops are not open however has for calling people a mardy arse and a miserable sod is not nice in my opinion calling people names is sad and all you lot who have done it want to get a life

Erm, I am confused as to why the holidays inconvenienced the OP. The easter holidays have always been there and they are well documented so that you can plan your activities around them. What exactly is the inconvenience? You can plan your shopping trips for the days the major shops were open and for the days they weren't then you should have planned something else (if you wasn't working). Not difficult, really.

just depends what sort of hours you work doesn't it can't always get to the shops then can you unless you are wonderwoman

just depends what sort of hours you work doesn't it can't always get to the shops then can you unless you are wonderwoman

I don't know. I don't own a wonderwoman outfit, but that doesn't stop me going to my local 24 hour Tesco after work :) In this day and age with extended opening hours, there is no reason why someone can't get sorted before a mojor religious/public holiday. If the OP wanted to shop for other, non essential items, then he had Friday and Saturday or even Monday to play with.

just depends what sort of hours you work doesn't it can't always get to the shops then can you unless you are wonderwoman

I didn't think that athletic, acrobatic super skills or military strategies were needed for going to a 24-hour store. :|

Psst .. I work Bank Holidays and don't get paid extra .. nor do I get time off in lieu.

I work only Thursdays Fridays and Saturdays, so I worked Good Friday as part of my contract. Don't get any extra pay or time off in lieu, but I knew that when i took the job on, so can't complain.

However, if I did overtime on Bank Holiday Monday, I would get triple pay!

I dont see why us who are not religious have to suffer closed shops and what have you just because of religion,it sucks.

I'm a non-believer too but don't really feel that I've suffered. But then I'm not into retail therapy either, so a few closed shops doesn't bother me. Talking of closed shops... I remember when you couldn't get a job in the print industry unless you were a member SOGAT or the NGA - suffering? you haven't lived ;)

My Amazon stuff from Sunday just turned up, almost missed the postman, he'd have to have carried all those heavy books back down to office.

So you would have got your books more quickly if you had waited for the shops to open on Monday.Oh how we suffer :D

I'd of also paid a lot more for them...

Can't say i've ever truly suffered. Yes there's been some bad times and life ain't always that great, but it dunnie stop me smiling!

But I bet the bad times haven't had anything to do with not being able to buy a book immediately:)

Maybe that's why I always order online, I don't mind waiting. I also let others get on the bus first, unless they try to push in of course!

Oh, I only do it if their half pint sized... No, silly enough it's generally the other way around, the small ones are more likely to kick off...

If I can't wait for something I generally find that in the end i'm glad I didn't... What do they say, Only fools rush in...

i said earlier juast depends what hours you work and what time you finish and also the whereabouts you live we haven't got a 24 hour tesco where i live so have you an alternative

in fairness to josh the amount of abuse he has had is not nice,besides how many of you lot actually go to church at easter? or maybe you are hypocrits.:thumbsup:

I didnt go to church, but im still a strong believe in god.

In defence of all those who have criticised the OP, I think the fact that he said he "suffered" as a result of the holiday. I believe the OP was inconvenienced at the very least, but didn't suffer. I mean, there are people out there who are suffering who would be glad to be put out by public holiday if only it could end their suffering.

Erm, I was in the middle of nowhere on Sunday and still managed to find a village store that was open. I think, no matter what someone's working hours are, the likelihood of finding a store in a major city that is open on a public holiday is likely to be greater than anywhere else.
