Sorry, I'm trying to rationalise...the standards of society do confuse me indeed when they get to this.

    Sorry if I cause concern here - I'm now moving straight on...:)

    Think the problem is The Sun using shock tactics to generate sales and not thinking as you rightly point out this will be in full view of young kids

    Completely agree with what you say.

    But to keep the peace and harmony here I decided to delete the image.

    :)

    No idea what locarr was saying as I've got him on ignore.

    No objection to you deleting at all - I want peace and harmony too.
    Locarr had quoted your post, including the same front page in full.

    I try and do it on my own but DS does like to help which makes a 5 minute job into a half hour one :rotfl:

    When OH is here I generally do it on my own rather than a deux - if I asked him to help he would probably think I was being a bit weird.

    When you say communal activity - is one person doing the hanging and the other pegging? Or is the other party passing the pegs - a laundry assistant as it were with a clearly defined hierarchy?

    I am intrigued :)

    I had just gone back in the house but OH was outside so this was why he witnessed the spectacle - for various reasons we have had to pay for a fence to be erected on the neighbours side and OH and our builder have been working on it all day, all done except for one section.
    Neighbour seems to have a new friend. Apparently Neighbour was hanging his washing on his new whirly gig thing , they seem to be at the inseparable stage superglued together so new friend followed neighbour down the garden and was the attentive audience while the washing was displayed.
    I've never thought of hanging the washing as a spectator sport :rotfl:

    No savvy...I personally find it unacceptable for this image to be on the front page of the Sun. I wouldn't like children to see it. No one has said that it's not acceptable on an Internet forum either...it's just Karlie being sensitive to how some people might feel. His family have asked that images should not be shown and I respect that:o

    You're a wee star for doing these tests. I have no idea what the poo glitch is all about or what's on offer in M so I couldn't offer any help on the details...just the theory.

    Fingers crossed. I'm going to have to catch up forwards and backwards now so that I don't miss your post :eek:

    Not that I consider it to be particularly "graphic" - well, compared to real extreme stuff (e.g. wars/violence) that does not get shown on tv news.

    If anyone does have kids, they should complain to all the supermarkets etc. (a) Not that I know anything about anything as I don't have kids myself so I'm disqualified from any input on the matter; and (b) not that a front page such as the Sun's would ever have affected me as a child or that it will really harm any children who happen to see it.

    Just because the Sun sees fit to do whatever it does to attract sales does not make it generally acceptable or right. I have no view on rightness or wrongness here however and I go and sit on the fence again (must be really hurt to myself how often I'm on that fence:rotfl:).
