If it's useful I'll rip and upload the full scene onto youtube
It's beautifully awkward.

Complete change of Topic; does anyone know whereabouts on Oxford Street is the large Topshop (near to which tube station) as going to London for the day next Sunday with my 16 year old daughter and it's on her list of things to do? I love Covent Garden so that's on my list.
Thanks in advance for any info o/

It's right on top of Oxford Circus tube. You can't miss it, whichever exit you come out of!

What would you guys say or do if someone told you at a corporate party you have been invited to that your first 2 alcoholic drinks are free but you have to p*y for a soft drink from the start? I am currently writing a very strongly worded complaint email.

Beate, that is terrible and discriminatory. But I fear it is slightly typical and people do look amazed when I choose a soft drink instead of alcohol. You must write and complain immediately!

Oh I will, don't worry. Just wondering whether there are any laws I could cite. I could have been a Muslim so would have been religious discrimination.

I'd think it was a cr@p 'corporate' party if you had to p*y for any drinks... but what are they trying to do get you sloshed? I think that's discriminatory, what about people who don't drink alcohol for religious or health or just by choice!!!

I totally agree, I had one of the health checks at the GP's and I said that I never drink alcohol and was asked why as though there was something wrong with me? Go for it Beate!
