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.


*hee hee*


[action thingies inserted just for Ladymuck]

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:


Girls and the well manicured - 1

Boys - 0


Not that I'm competitive or anything.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
