What, we have not got the 24 hour reruns of Jesus of.... grin.

Lets turn all broadcasting off completely next easter and really
concentrate on decorating, which seems to be what everyone else does.

Except that a religious fundamentalist we shall call Lord [David] Alton
managed to get an amendment to the Sunday Trading Bill to force large stores
[like B&Q] to close on Easter Sunday.

Every Easter Sunday I drive past the local DIY sheds, and there's the sight of
perplexed folk rattling the front doors trying to get in.

I did have one problem as a result of the Easter Sunday trading law, the
button cell in my car's key fob died. Could get into the car using the key,
but could not de-immobilise the immobiliser, and we were 200 miles from home.

Sorted it in the end by sticking the battery on a radiator for 30 mins !

I'd vote for the Monster raving loony party if they made repealing
Sunday trading laws their policy.

I always had a soft spot for their policy to make shopping easier by
introducing a 99p coin.

There's more sense, as always, at:
