any input from our German brothers, my cousin said that all Germans where unanimous in stopping British style shopping hours
because like a cancer it would eventually spread to everybody ,and they would all end up working 24/7
here, shops are usually closed on sunday. But there are exceptions in different areas for certain events.*
I used to work in retail when they have weakened the opening hours from 8-18:30 on workdays and 8-14:00 on Saturdays. Today everybody can open when he wants and how long he wants during workingdays.
The argument from the pro-side where the same but in reality there was no raise in revenues, shops are rarely paying more for late-work, more and more cheap staff (parttime) is hired to get a minimum staff coverage.
I was always against longer hours. Being single at that time, I managed to do my shopping on my day-off which never was on a saturday.
I am trying my best to limit my personal shopping to the "old" opening hours in solidarity with the existing staff.
Glad that I am not in retail anymore
*believe it or not, but the churches here are the most influencal powers to prevent regular sunday-opening here.

New rant:
Have been on a minicruise with Cunards Queen Elisabeth with mostly UK people on board over the weekend.
It annoys me totally when people are late for the show and instead of silently putting themselfs to the rear rows, they walk to the front of the audience, preferrably have people stand up for them in order to catch a seat in the middle and then taking ages to sit on their arses and get their heads out of my view.
This lasted for 30 minutes after the show has begun X-(

I think everyone who's late for anything should be shot...but they'd probably turn up late for their own execution and the firing squad would already have gone home.
is it me ,but are the adverts on for longer,i cant stand adverts,i hope we don't end up with (no offence ) U,S style T.V
half the stuff they advertise is rubbish anyway
By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?

They also seem to he more often. On some of the satalite stations they seem to have a break every 10 to 15 minutes.
I've given up watching a few films on channel 5 because of how many breaks in them.

If its only a 25-30 min program then its going to be that for the ad break
I think film ad breaks are a little different....the tv channels are only allowed so many minutes of ads per hour...its probably up to them how they do this though...
Not just ads, but now Ice-cream vans can play their tunes for longer too. Instead of
4 seconds as in the past, they can now blast out up to 12 seconds.

2006 - 2008, the big german beer producers rose their prices with 1 Euro/crate
Thus their additional profit went by rumored 500-1000 million Euros in these 3 years.
The anti-cartel trust is now punishing them with a 100 million Euros fine.
Yes, correct - sounds still like a good deal to me if I was a brewer…..
Now the best to come: To finance the fine, the big beer companies announced a price hike for this year - so the consumer will get shafted twice: At first with inflated prices and now they have to pay for the fine.

My rant: I HATE when people say "I could care less" when they're trying to convey the idea that they COULDN'T care less!!! It makes one sound so childish IMO. Is this just an American thing? ?:)

police when some poor old crim gets shot, I wish ,just for once they could get the crims (faces blacked out of course) on the show
to give their side of what they intend to do with those weapons ? Now luckily or unluckily if you speak to my misses ,I was fortunate enough to be allowed on ambushes (belive me its not like the TV )now there was no misunderstanding on what these men if cornered would do with those weapons, and yes it could have been your mum/dad /wife/sister ect working in that bank
and that experience will scar you mentaly for life (just look at me wibble) now if you are unfortunate to be shot
forget John Wayne staggering about with extra holes in your body , you will have an entry point ,about as big as the bullet itself
and an exit hole depending on weapon used and distance ,as big as a saucer not nice (ask ASP 9mm im sure hes seen a few)
so its not a game out there ,if you don't want PLOD to shoot you don't carry guns simple.
I think these Crims are just misunderstood. A hug ( as suggested by our glorious leader Dave ) would

I hear you...my best friend was shot dead by criminals....unfortunately they got their weapons from a police officers house...they stole three handguns and they were all used to kill someone...PLEASE don't get me started on this issue...ALL firearms should be locked away at gun clubs...NO exceptions....
To be honest guys I agree 100% with you but you're missing the point; the beeb, and any other media group is simply gonna get you're attention by pissing you off. It's how they get you talking and buying the papers etc.
I'm surprised anyone, police included, is prepared to defend themselves for fear of legal ramifications afterwards.
As AS states, if you don't wanna get shot, don't take any risks.
Now don't get me wrong, everyone makes mistakes, no one is perfect and you get good and bad in all walks of life, but if you're in bacon's shoes, do you not fire, hoping that's not a real gun the bank robber is bringing round to your direction, putting you, your fellow officers and the public at risk or do you take mr robin banks out.
This question could be discussed for hours, contemplating the consequences of your (as the copper) actions, the effects it has mentally on you, the knock on effects to your home life and family, the family of the criminal having lost their child/partner/brother etc, the risks involved and the pros and cons of firing or not firing.
Sadly the firearms officer had about 0.3secs to do that. And he can't miss.
The family of Mark Duggan may be bereaved and I feel sorry for anyone suffering loss, but if Mark were a good boy and stopped to think where his life of crime might lead him then he might still be here now.
Comments
A few weeks ago that Tom Daley came out and 'bravely' declared to the world that he was gay as well.
People have just been on the news saying they hope the latest 'outty' (some footballer) has the courage to live his life blah blah blah.
It's getting real old and boring now, all this 'oh by the way, I'm gay' crap.
I find all this stuff really hypocritical as it seems the only people making a big deal about it supposedly not being a big deal are gay people.
So you're gay, I DON'T FOOKING CARE!
