It all depends on whether you are religious or not.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

If we can mock Mohammed we can surely mock a simple crucifiction

Don't quite know how to put this Reg but I will be meeting some of my fundamentalist Islamist mates down the Eight Bells later, rest assured a Fatwah will be in the post shortly.

The bootfair was moved to Saturday due to Tilmanstone starting back up but i dont think its been a success as it seems that most would rather save their bits n bobs for Sunday. I,ve seen many bootfairs held on Saturdays but as a rule Sundays are the day that people like going to them.

I think Saturday is seen as the main shopping day for essentials by most people so Sunday is more for leisure which most people see boot fairs as.
