    She had politics?

    I believe she described herself as “a teetotal, mean-spirited, right-wing, narrow-minded, conservative Christian bigot.”

    Any more questions, John?

    (Apart from where one might find flesh coloured swimming trunks?)

    Well, at least she was honest – and by now she knows she was wrong!

    Not just the flesh colour but the little dark band on them which is – quite distracting.

    I wondered whether the little dark band was sewn on in order to show, for the avoidance of doubt, that they were in fact wearing something.

    I think we have to admit the little band does rather more than draw attention to their being to some degree dressed.

  • Called or Collared

    A new and interesting development locally is a monthly inter-faith coffee morning. A few of us from different faith traditions go and have coffee together in a local cafe. No agenda.
