I remember some member of the SA cabinet blaming many of the countries ills on females wearing miniskirts, this was in the early seventies, an enlightened era.

That is an interesting point quids, they haven't lost their voice for so many other lesser issues, yet they are speechless on other topics.

I wonder, is it political correctness keeping them quiet?

Anyway there may be something to that article. I once drove into a shopping trolley when distracted by a lady in a short skirt.


What a coincidence. I was once almost run over by some idiot in car when I was putting my shopping trolley away, one sunny day.......

They don't agree with it, many just do some uncomfortable shuffling and skirting around the issues in public

How can anyone dignify this with a sensible debate? The story is about a total and utter loon! No one in their right mind agrees with any of it!


Other than the bit about causing youths to go astray. We do that all the time.

That's cos I'm Western and liberal. We're all products of our upbringing. And mine leads me to scream "LOON!" when I read things like that.


Please don't think I'm ignorant quids, I've studied Islam, Christianity and Judaism for several years and have a working understanding of the Hindu and Sikh religions. But I still think he's a loon, and a very disingenous one at that. Established religions have a proven history of playing on human fears to control a population for political ends. A better example I haven't seen in quite a while. Sex = Earthquake? Well maybe, if you're lucky, but not in the way he thinks.


So I make no apologies for it - he's a loon!

Not so very lunatic LB - right up until the flat-earth earthquake bit, I reckon you've got a fairly standard rape defence from any British law court. Ridiculous maybe, but lunatic, not so much.


As to Quids's point about lefties and awkward silences, I'll come right out and say it (and await the death threats). Purdah is inherently sexist.


And yes, Red Devil, I did hear that there was a minor earthquake at the weekend, epicentre Lordship Lane, when you caused a lady-stampede while popping out for a few cans from Boss Man.

I hear what you say RosieH but I'm sticking with lunatic. In my view only a lunatic would consider it acceptable to use that as a defence to rape. I'm not saying it isn't used, or that it doesn't work. But you're a raving loon if you think it's an acceptable defence of anything. Though we are now rather off topic.


Sorry Mick Mac, is this better:

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
