The people of Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis are fighting against Tesco's decision to start trading on Sundays. The conflict reflects the clash between the modern world and the old one, as Lewis still has a high proportion of Christian believers who view Sunday as a day of rest. Many people long for a day when everyone is free from work and can spend time with their families. While Sunday trading has become the norm in most of the UK, other countries like Germany and Israel still observe a day of rest.
