Isn't this a bit lacking in sensitivity by the Cafe ?

Well yes obviously that's the idea but it seems unlikely in practice to save you. If you were being kidnapped for a random I doubt if the kidnappets would be put off by a few extra pounds(!)
Of course if it were a random kidnapping then I guess they'd go for the smallest person there and then we're on dodgy ground again ...

'Ransom' and 'random' ...

This is an old story.

[Zacs-Master]

Erm, yeah, I think that's just been pointed out.

[ummmm]

Ich - I think you're taking this a bit too seriously :-)

[-Talbot-]

I see Webbo has pointed it out I posted before reading the thread .... the date is on the article you posted mikey

My psychic powers are not up to scratch today, Zacs.

[Zacs-Master]

I've got a few spare AAA batteries if you want em.

I've got no personal grounds for being offended, but yes, jokes about kidnapped children aren't in great taste, especially in a small town where it's actually happened.

[ummmm]

It's not about kidnapped children. These signs are outside many many cafes.

[jno]

fair enough, it doesn't mention children. I can't say I've seen any such signs, though. We get more sophisticated stuff down south

[ummmm]

Lol..very good.

If the neon sign in that picture is to be believe3d jno, you could very well do both in that cafe!

Back to the topic- do I find that sign in that cafe in the OP insensitive, yes I do.
