Some businesses require a reception or front desk to welcome visitors (such as a car sales garage). Such businesses tend to recruit hot totty for receptionists.
Should such businesses be allowed to insist on a strict uniform, such as high heels for female receptionists?

General discussion / Trump's Disasters
« on: February 19, 2017, 04:09:07 PM »
I think we need a new thread to record Donald Trump's disasters.
Last week, he accused the press of reporting fake news. Then yesterday he mentions an incident in Sweden.

General discussion / In your view was this a 'deplorable' tweet?
« on: February 07, 2017, 01:18:43 PM »
On this morning's radio we had a man from the SAS admitting that it was a war and they used dirty tactics.
Yet a Scottish politician gets abuse for saying that some people would call the IRA freedom fighters.

General discussion / Terrible Irish Accents in the Movies
« on: January 04, 2017, 09:14:40 PM »
Not sure if there is a thread on this already, but I just watched a film called The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex, made in 1939 and starring Bet Davis and Errol Flynn.
At one point (circa 1599 and in the middle of the 9 years war) the Earl of Essex is sent to lead an army in Ireland. He met the Earl of Tyrone who spoke with an accent which was a cross between Cockney and Kerry.

I'm thinking of buying a new vehicle and am pondering over petrol versus diesel.
Does anyone know anything about emissions/noxious gases and british government plans to penalise diesel cars?

A goat has head-butted a pensioner and jumped on cars after being refused entry to a County Antrim shop.
Staff and customers ran for cover when the unusual visitor appeared at the doors of the Eurospar store in Carrickfergus on Saturday morning.
The shop manager told BBC News NI the stray goat charged at one of his regular customers, named Billy.
He said the goat "butted" Billy in the back before he managed to drag the pensioner into the shop for safety.
"We had to trail him inside," the manager said, but added that the pensioner was not injured.
In the forecourt of the shop, the goat got up on its hind legs and jumped on two cars, one belonging to a customer and another to a staff member.
Speaking to the Carrickfergus Times newspaper, the manager said: "I was on my own in the store at around 6.20am and thought it was the bread man knocking."
He looked up and saw the goat outside the door, adding: "It seemed to want to break into the shop and it was staring straight at me."
The manager described how the goat began eating flower baskets outside the shop on Victoria Road and then frightened staff and customers as they tried to get into the building.
"It was into the baskets eating all the plants and running round the car park, I thought: 'you've got to be kidding me!'"
He said one customer tried to use the ATM when she spotted the goat and ran back to her car.
Another customer shouted a warning to a member of staff who was walking in to the shop to start work.
The manager said his employee replied: "Yeah, right" But when she spotted the goat she dove in to the customer's car for cover.
The incident ended when a man, believed to be the goat's owner, arrived at the shop and dragged the goat off by the horns.
