I can see where you are coming from Bath. I think ages ago when everything stopped over the weekends everyone had loads of time to do that 'family' stuff. I think these days there is still a cycle but everyone is on a different one so it doesn't seem like there are masses of people out there doing their family stuff on weekends IYKWIM?

Personally Sunday trade has been my saviour as a single parent. It means I can work weekends when my mum and XP can watch Em which leaves me time to study during to the week. But in saying that I am working towards being able to work a Monday - Friday week lol. And when I do that I'll still want weekend trade so I can get my stuff done!!!

And as for losing penalty rates and overtime rates - a big thumbs down. If extended trade exists then it should exist with those rates!
