Here's my Sunday morning call

SUNDAYS will stay the same - hurrah!
As if six hours weren't enough to squeeze a trip in to Tesco, a slide round Sainsbury's or a rove around Ramsdens, certain sections of the retail industry wanted more.
Personally I think it is a victory for the weekend. But others won't feel that way. I cannot argue that shoppoing is no longer just a necessity, sad though that is.
For many it is a leisure activity, persued with vigour, but what must never be forgotten is the team of staff that has to be in place to let that happen.
While many may moan that working hours during the week are preventative to such a hobby, leaving only Saturday and Sunday to shop, the status quo allows for the thousands working in retail to still have that vital time with families.
Sunday trading laws have worked fine now for several years - but with the big supermarkets now offering 24 hour shopping, it is easy to see why some feel inconvenienced come 5pm on the seventh day. My Sunday My Choice was one lobbying group set up by the mega retailers, but would that have applied to the staff?
One thing is for sure, the DTI's decision will be a huge boost to the corner shop, where convenience really counts. It will give something back to a sector already fighting a battle with the big boys.
This is bound to be a recurring issue though, but the fact that there was "no substantial demand for change" according to Trade and Industry Secretary Alistair Darling, should send a resounding message back.
