M & S pander to this crazy world !

[DavidinSouthampton]

Just spent the morning lobbing sausages at Muslims in M&S.

Do you need to be more precise? They could have been beef, or vegetarian.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

They'll be trying to ban Christmas next

M&S are almost there. It's almost impossible to find a sensible Christmas present on sale in their shops. My old mum's advice ("Get me something from M&S - I can always return it, if you keep the receipt") seems to be a relic of a bygone age.

That was the Russian Roulette element to my morning. Some were beef, some were pork , some veggie. More people were horrified by the veggie ones than the pork.

The food at M&S is all pre-packaged, ready meal crap anyway. Even their fresh produce is wrapped in plastic, covered in herbs and butter and come in Styrofoam packs of four. People who shop there are mugs.

not sure if I would be able to cope if they shut the M&S here. Having to cart boxes of tea-bags back to CZ from UK would quickly become tiresome.

Well yes, if you are in the CR I imagine its the best place to go unless of course you run out of Schaffleschlops or need a tin of toothpaste and have to run out to Lidl.

Youve got it...I would consider closure as catastrophic....it happened when I was living in Holland...caused untold misery, but at least there were some decent alternatives there.. ;-)

Any chance of a pic of your girlfriend holding some teabags Dave?

 

[daveinprague]

lol

I can imagine the conversation..... just hold these teabags whilst I take a picture honey...

Can already see her expression haha

It doesn't forbid credit, it forbids interest; in the eyes of the Koran, interest or usury is "haraam" (naughty).
I have a credit card but have never paid a penny in interest.

Usury also used to be forbidden to Christians, which is why money lending (banking) was one of the few professions open to Jews.

 

[BadFish]

They already have, haven't they. I mean you see absolutely no indication of the forthcoming festivites in the mainstream media. It's only because of my supreme ability to use a calendar that I know how close we are.

is it soon?

 

[User removed 4]

No problem in Turkey

That's because its secular.

 

[User removed 4]

:-D

Marks & Spencers fail to follow their own internal work process, and apologise.
Its muslims fault though. haha


Happy Winterval Badfish...!

Of course it is , who else could be to blame ? If a Muslim hadn't refused to sell alcohol in the first place there wouldn't have been a problem.

 

[User removed 4]

I don't think anywhere is

Ever heard of a place called Saudi Arabia ?

Surely one of the characteristics of Britain is the huge variety of accents in a relatively small area

typical deflection , a huge variety of BRITISH accents, yes

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

I admit I have not read most of the posts on this thread. I do have two sons that could have been involved in this Muslim V Christian shit.
Luckily they chose the boring path of Lloyds TSB & self employment PLUMBING & HEATING.
However I come from a different world being 57 years old.
I would be banned for ever if I gave my true views on all this diversity shit.
My eldest son is married to a lovely Chinese girl and they have a son who could be the next Bruce Lee!!!
I cannot remember any Chinese wanting to kill me and my family.

f I didn't want to handle or sell pornography, I wouldn't get a job in a sex shop and if I didn't want to get my hands dirty or covered in oil, I wouldn't go and work as mechanic. I've never been refused a pack of condoms by a cashier in Boots because they were Catholic and I've never been refused a cream cake in Greggs because the girl behind the counter may have thought I looked like I could do with losing a few pounds.

I don't think they are particularly good parallels. Pork Sausages are hardly the mainstay of the M&S operation, and there are plenty of parts of a big store you could work in where Alcohol was not in evidence. If you are in a sex-shop, pornography would be one of the mainstays of the operation, I would imagine.

Most sensible comments I have seen. Pleased that he devout Parliamentarian who posted a comment has since burnt his computer!

It was mean't to be a bit tongue in cheek. Never mind.
