Ties are not "inherently English".
They originated in France.

When I typed this, my mind was on the world at large, and not at all on any AB'ers! I can see however that this may be a valid interpretation, and would wish to confirm that my comment was not at all directed personally at anyone on the site.

Apologies for any offence inadvertently caused.

I did wonder but then why not? She's not a criminal and if UK allows the wearing of veils then perfectly ok.

Naomi - //andy-hughes, //You have no idea why this lady dresses as she does//

yes one can conclude from observations - that is from the dress she wears and previous experience from dress -
fr 'instance how many christians wear head scarves at work
my score is as high as - Nil

so yes andy or Ni we do have an idea why she dresses as she does
and not just in a pair of speedos

Thanks for clearing that one up.

But even so Andy, even away from AnswerBank people have the right to an opposite opinion without being labelled "knuckle-dragging bigots."

An absolutely fair point.

I think I got a bit giddy with the heat - I will reign myself in accordingly.

Does it also depend on whether she is Sunni, Shi'ite or one of the other two branches?

Of course The LIVERPOOL Echo, where she can automatically link her dilemma to the Hillsborough disaster thereby garnishing local support. Tawdry.

Doubt it.

Where should she have written her feature - the Mail?

Does that mean Mr McKenzie is equally open to criticism for placing his dreadful opinions in a similarly sympathetic nespaper?

Now THAT's tawdry!!

Or perhaps none of the other publications would touch it. Thereby handing the Echo a scoop, and exclusive claim by default.
