I think they must have put chemicals in their jam since, after having some on toast, I had an overwhelming urge to dress up as a minstrel and start singing Al Jolson songs

I used to have a badge years ago. Now I just have two golly’s as soft toys. I like them but wouldn’t have them at my window

I can understand people wanting to ban peppa pig - it is purile - but ornaments on a window sill?? Whatever happened to the notion that your home was your castle?

I think more people need to learn the word “tough!”

It is the symbol of light in Hindu culture and is to be found on every wedding invitation and in many temples.

They don’t
I just checked.

There’s a sticker, though, which reads “If you can see this - my cloaking device is broken”

:joy:

Sad, isn’t it. It’s as if some people go around looking in other people’s windows just to see if they can find something to be offended by.

This country is certainly changing, and not always for the better.

It is sad but many good things were used for displaying kindness and love and then some took to use as so much hatred.
As I don’t want to cause more talk about how Jackal and Hyde was a similar parallel
thank god for the spell check before somebody jumps down my throat on spelling or grammar :sob:

I know most wont agree with me, while I think it’s vile what the swastika stands for I also suppose it’s up to her what she puts up in her own house, but again, an element of freedom is being taken away. If the neighbours don’t like it then don’t be so damn nosey and look elsewhere lol.

It wouldn’t have bothered me but I have to admit I’d be like, bloody norah, who have I got living next door me to.

Trouble is that we have no idea about the back story here. For all we know, she might actually have been making a commentary about her neighbours!!

In what way? How so oh Wise One?

I can easily envisage a scenario in which she thinks her neighbours are a bunch of Nazi’s if she’s fallen out of them, and the swastika is akin to sticking two fingers up at them by suggesting they are.

As said, I think knowing the back story would be useful.

82

I totally agree. It’s silly. I see some houses with a figure of Jesus, others have football flags some with opposing shirts etc. It’s their business. Maybe I could put up the St Andrews cross

Go for it, Besoeker, or - better still a poster picture of Max!

There’s only one flag I’d put up - if I had a flagpole of course:

Oh, I don’t know about that. They’re all Lankies around here.

Hang on a minute! You’re a Lanky too!
