    That is so mean, it is this sort of thing that makes you proud to be British. Why don't they want the kids to celebrate :(

    Well my guess it will ""offend"" some people .... It's a disgrace that in

    In 2016 we are being knuckled down to not upset any other religion

    I mean the Queens birthday where is the harm in that


    Whilst the people of other religions will not knuckle down to what is our right to celebrate birthdays etc

    If our traditions upset them that much why don't they build and fund their own schools
    Or just ignore it if they don't like it .....as there is plenty of things I don't agree with in different religions and countries but I do not protest about them ..I accept that people are entitled to their own opinions

    Do you think these countries would not celebrate their traditions if we lived in their countries and it offended us

    Now I am not wishing to upset any religion from Catholics to buddists

    and all the rest of the religions

    But we need to get a back bone and put a stop to all of this and Happy Holidays for Xmas

    We don't protest when other religions want to celebrate their traditions
    And we should uphold all of our traditions and ceremonies after all

    we do have a Lady as our head of state and long may she rule

    Happy Birthday Philip

    Happy Birthday to our Queen

    How many people on here will wish our Lizzie and Phil a Happy Birthday

    Let's see how many like this post or how long before the post is removed because my opinion offends

    You are paying for the name with Gucci but there isn't necessarily anything wrong with that. Didn't Martin say something along the lines that MSE isn't about getting the cheapest option, it's about getting what you want at the best possible price. I'd say 20% off is a pretty good deal, unless anyone knows better...

    Tesco clubcard deals ---> goldsmith vouchers (usually 3 x deal tokens, sometimes 4) goldsmiths sell gucci.

    I think all religions celebrate birthdays, except 7th day advantists.

    and Jehovah's Witnesses don't have birthdays either - 'everyday is a birthday'

    no windows in their churches also

    weird considering they have the window cleaning monopoly in this town :think::think::think:
