I smell Lawyers and Claims for being traumatised. Wonder if thre's any jobs going, might be able to claim a few bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La_Dolce_Vita Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 It does look creepy, but how people can get THAT spooked out. I think these people need a new job! And why does the council need to get involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemonday Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 I have flashbacks when I see an old style dustbin. As I suspect, do all who were once small children hiding from the Daleks behind a sofa. I must consult an advocate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La_Dolce_Vita Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 ha ha creepy as a slug maybe, lol its all PC crap once again, Creepy as a slug? It's just this very common and modern trend where the State (particularly the Councils) demand that nobody can be offended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Maybe they should tell the bank staff to enter and leave the bank by the back door because they give everyone else in the town flashbacks to losing money and banks screwing up the country's economy...

jehovah Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 But Mr Shahabi, a father-of-two, remains defiant. "Darren doesn't move and he has never been dressed in dark clothing " he said. "He just stands there from nine to five every day." We can use him at the DoT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
