Can't win can they. I'm sure there would be equally as many people complaining if they done nothing. Reply to this message | Report message

BBC website eventually got wind of it, with a video clip of the discussion with the officer. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-23041259 I think most children would have just laughed if they'd seen the dolls 'attributes' Last edited by: VxFan on Tue 25 Jun 13 at 10:05 Reply to this message | Report message

It would be nice if just once in a while someone would fight one of these arbitrary dictats issued by a local gauleiter and let it go to court. He could call evidence from newsagents and ladies clothing shops, for example, on the public acceptability of "attributes". Incidentally I'm sure the original story was pinched from a book by Tom Sharpe, recently deceased. Reply to this message | Report message

I think you might be referring to the book "Wilt" (which had a film version starring Griff Rhys Jones), although they both contain sex dolls, the story is completely different to the episode of OFAH.

I've always thought that our society is a bit warped when lightweight fictional references to sex, which is a normal and natural activity are seen as offensive while depictions and portrayals of murder and violence are seen as family entertainment. In other words, showing the result or enaction of a brutal murder on Morse, Taggart, Lewis, Midsommer etc etc etc is fine, and portrayals of warfare and its gore are just a diversion but for goodness sake don't film anyone's bare tits as that would be too much to stand.

No, I would prefer not to see as well. However, I don't want every bit of weirdness crushed out of existence just because of that. I live in a society, I cannot expect absolutely nothing in that society to bother me, some of it will. Its called variety. And I quite like that the authorities are hounding him as well. Its just so silly and pointless that I like the whole ridiculous saga. We didn't get to be great by being normal, standard and inoffensive. Reply to this message | Report message

Can't bothered to look at the clips, but it doesn't seem terribly unreasonable. Move the doll sir. No. Move the doll or I'll give you a ticket. For all I know he used it as an excuse to pull the bloke over to check stuff. Again, seems reasonable to me. And I think the attitude that they wouldn't have bothered in the evening, but during the day its a bit much is about right. Not that it really bothers me much either way, but I can see that it might bother some. However, isn't it ridiculous that the whole thing gets reported in the nation's media? I'm guessing the copper didn't call the press, so I assume the driver did. Makes him about as much of a plonker as the copper. A few people need a bit more work to do. As someone said, damned if you do, damned if you don't. Reply to this message | Report message       1

>> I'm guessing the copper didn't call the press, so I assume the driver did. First posted on his facebook account according to the report you didn't bother to look at ;) Guessing it was either him, or one of his followers who then reported it to the media. www.facebook.com/DelBoyVanHire Last edited by: VxFan on Tue 25 Jun 13 at 14:06 Reply to this message | Report message

Can't help thinking there's a clue here as to a new possibly more holistic approach to the design of airbags. If your last mortal experience was to bury your nose in the décolletage of such a thing it might help to make your transference to the afterlife an altogether less stressful journey.

Seems perfectly reasonable of the policeman, really. Pulls punter over, asks him to stop making a fool of himself and offending people. Punter fails attitude test immediately by saying no. Despite failing test, officer gives punter second chance, and leans a bit harder on him by putting the weight of the law behind him. Reply to this message | Report message

>> and offending people. Was anyone other than the officer offended though? Had anyone actually complained? As pointed out by someone else earlier in the thread, no worse than a shop manikin. Reply to this message | Report message

You can ignore shop windows, but silly signs (beware: bitch on board) and blow-up things in a queue are hard to escape. I suppose one positive aspect is that it advertises a carefree approach to life. There is a notorious vehicle parked up in Buxton, imitating a hearse, bedecked with gothic insignias and containing a plastic skeleton in an open coffin. tinyurl.com/q9uz9zz Parked on the pavement rather than the road, but it's a wide pavement. Just the job for residents of the nearby home for the aged! Reply to this message | Report message

>>Was anyone other than the officer offended though? Indubitably. >>Had anyone actually complained? Isn't the main complaint about the police that they do nothing about antisocial behaviour even *if* somebody complains...?! Reply to this message | Report message
