should I have put this in news?

[ummmm]

No..but AOG has announced in news that he's going to be serious...

[jake-the-peg]

Interesting grounds for appeal

Mr Bull, 70, and his wife, 66, said their long-standing policy is based on their beliefs about marriage and is not hostile towards certain sexual orientations.

We're not biased we impose our particular moral views on everyone!

Presumably shortly to be followed by broad mided yobs claiming to persecute anyone and not to limit it to a small section of the community.

Such even handed times we live it!

I had not read this before , but it was the point i was making, for wich redhelen labeled me a bigot.

[Mick-Talbot]

Do you dictate the pace now then anne?

[anneasquith]

no mick..but i obviously forgot the smiley face,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Mick-Talbot]

I don't know whether jth, will pop in but i also asked at the time
In what year did the regulation, that the gay couple used, come into play.

The damages were awarded to Mr Hall and Mr Preddy for sexual orientation discrimination under the Equality Act (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2007.

Like I said, an old couple set in their way, I still maintain the gay couple should have moved on.

come on Mick we all know it was a setup to catch the couple out

[jake-the-peg]

No idea

But if you can't meet the standards expected in your industry you should look for another way of earning your living.

If it had been a hindu couple refusing to allow anybody in who wore leather - you'd all be screaming for blood

[alexanderd]

Jake I dont know when they opened their B and B but judging by their ages it may well have been when homosexuality wasnt as open as it is now. I still say they were set up

[Mick-Talbot]

Jtp ..............how an apology for your stupid answer?

[jake-the-peg]

Doesn't matter when it was set up

Companies have to meet current legislation

Heinz can't say "We don't have to meet health and safety requirements we were formed in the 19th Century"

[jackthehat]

Hallo............:o)

I've just been talking double-glazing with a nice salesman.

Where were we ............?

[jno]

did he say they'd only sell double-glazing to Mormons?

[Mick-Talbot]

nice salesman?

Oxymoron, if ever there was one.

can you expand on your remark about me being up in arms jake?

[jackthehat]

Of course he was nice.............I haven't agreed to buy anything yet !! :o)

By the by, does anyone know of a consumer- type website where I can check out the company ?

[Mick-Talbot]

do you mean to see if they are FENSA registered ?

If it had been a hindu couple refusing to allow anybody in who wore leather - you'd all be screaming for blood

As you have failed to answer my request for an explanation jake, I have reported your answer, using the ' pure stupidity' option'

[jackthehat]

No.
They are a 'proper' company.
But I'd like to see if other punters have had any problems with them....
I can only find trade references or advertising.

[jno]

google the name of the company and "complaints"?
