I know where someone is going...
Anger over Norwich topless barbers plan
www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-16016953

I saw that a few minutes ago - I was absolutely disgusted. What are house prices like in Norwich ?
|
I've not clicked the url, but are they male or female barbers, only I like to keep abreast of things, like.
|
These things have been tried before, but don't tend to last as it is often hard to find staff willing to do it.

Hahaha ! One word Rats - Recession ! :-)

Is that the same as inverted nipples?

"An anonymous objection submitted to the council states: "I believe it will cater to society's lowest common denominator."
Isn't that blatant discrimination against those of us who make up society's lowest common denominator?
|
does that not make us the majority?
|
Back in the seventies there was a pub in Stratford that had topless barmaids on a Sunday, it boosted trade no end as the place was packed out. Another in Canning Town had topless Go-Go dancers at lunchtime to attract the factory lunch break trade, again a roaring success.
It's good to see that sort of enterprise coming back in these difficult times.

I remember topless bars in the US and South Africa.
Once you have seen a hundred..
The beer was warm and not very good...

The words of a practical man.
Some would say, who cares about the quality of the beer!

If you want to be pedantic for once, a common denominator would imply all of us, so the anonymous objector was including him/herself. Maybe they were expressing approval, not objecting.

Who is de nominator and why is he common?

Beer, especially real ale, is far too wet without a smoke to go with it. Proper beer should be taken with a fug chaser and a bag of salted nuts. Worlds gone soft. Not that I smoke anymore, it's just the principle.

In my opinion NortonES2 is to be congratulated on coming up with one of the most intriguing and amusing original thread titles ever. Were the pox doctors puffing after failing to take their own advice? Was the puffin exhausted after the mating season, and was it the pox doctor's unusual pet? One simply had to read on. Chapeau!
Perhaps there should be a thread title competition with different categories: most original, most irresistible, most boring, most obscene below the swear-filter radar, most misleading, etc.

Sorry guys. Plans for the topless barbers have been thrown out by council. Particularly enjoyed the contribution of the Health and Safety officer to the debate;
"Peter Riseborough, the authority’s health and safety officer, added there was little detail of this type of business for officers to work with.
He said: “Existing guidance on controls is aimed at fully clothed individuals so the applicant will need to take care to see that controls are applicable to this operation.
“Dependant on the nature and extent of the hair dressing services that were offered one of the key controls i.e. protective clothing might well be at odds with the basic theme of the operation.
“Anecdotal evidence suggests that the shorter hairs produced during dry barber cuts may prove to be an irritant and indeed washing with shampoo and other treatments using chemicals have in the past been associated with dermatitis of the hands.”
