1000 adults aged 16+ were interviewed on the GfK NOP Telebus during the weekend of 20th-22nd July 2007. The survey is designed to be nationally representative of adult profiles throughout the United Kingdom. Below are main key findings from the research.

Germany’s Constitutional Court has ruled that Sunday should be kept a day of rest, following a complaint made by the country’s Catholic and Protestant churches, which was supported by the labour unions.
15TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SUNDAY TRADING ACT
Aug 28 2009
Our spokesperson Peter Lynas was interviewed on the BBC 1 Breakfast show and a variety of local BBC radio stations and other media explaining why the KSS campaign continues. A number of the programmes asked people on the streets their views and as our polling suggests, the majority want Sunday to be different and are happy with the current compromise.
We need your help to fight this campaign. If you believe in keeping Sunday special, please consider giving your financial support to resist any further extension to Sunday trading.
