just because a few silly people think it's a special day.

I work for Asda and the days when we were shut on Sunday were great. You
had one day a week in which to sort out any problems, go out with
workmates, or just rest ready for the next week. Now it's almost 24/7,
work rotas are split up all over the place, and there's a sense of
constant pressure to get ready for the next day. It's relentless.

So as a worker I much preferred the days when there was one day a week
you could be guaranteed not to be leaned on to do overtime. But as a
human being I love Easter/Xmas/Boxing day because the world seems to go
so quiet. That's the sound of people simply living instead of shopping
or working, and I rather enjoy it.
