I hope it was the last one! Weekend working was typical of the swine who cared not a jot for those under them!

The weekend work never transpired, at least while I was there. I will have to look it up to see when the Sunday working hours came to be, I know it was a lot later. Still, Dire did tell me this all that time ago. You know how long laws take to change in the UK.., years sometimes!
And sometimes they just don't ever. Although I remember Sunday working coming in in a few of the guff jobs I had. Blegh
Check this out..
The Shops Bill 1986 was a parliamentary bill in the United Kingdom that would have ended government regulation of Sunday shopping in England and Wales.[1] Introduced by the Government of Margaret Thatcher, it was defeated in the House of Commons at its second reading; this is the most recent occasion at which a government bill has fallen at that stage.
Defeated in 1986 and yet that cunt was telling me it was gonna happen next year (1985). What a presumptuous twat!
After this defeat, fuck all happened until 1996. You might remember shops opening and ritually getting fined, eating the fines as they made load of cash because nobody had anything to do on Sundays!
Yeah Sundays were a dead zone bank them so some of them just chanced it. It is amazing how things have changed so late which seem as if they were like that forever
