Riding down to my local bank to celebrate the establishment of a new
religion.

The bizarre case has reignited debate about the wearing of the burqa in
public - and how far religious tolerance should extend before it poses a
potential threat to public safety.

Both the Commonwealth Bank and National Australia Bank confirmed yesterday
that while customers wearing a helmet are likely to be tackled to the ground
upon entry, the same rule does not apply to burqas.

"We don't have a policy on that at all, we treat all customers equally," a
Commonwealth spokesman told The Daily Telegraph.

"The difference between a head covering and a helmet would be clear - one
would have religious reasons while one would have an ulterior motive."

Similarly, a National Australia Bank spokesman said: "We make a commonsense
distinction between motorbike helmets and religious dress."

Post offices also prohibit the wearing of helmets and balaclavas - but
welcome burqas.

"Australia Post respects the rights of individuals to express their
religious beliefs in the way they choose," a spokesman said.

Wear a burkha over your helmet. Problem solved. Anyway, it's not the
banks and post offices and petrol stations who make the distinction
between a helmet and a burkha, it's the government, so asking anyone
else for an opinion is just demonstrates ignorance on the part of the
writer, and anyone who chooses to quote them.

still searching for the bit where an opinion was sort...

Opinions here are given randomly. Sort them yourself.

I at least expected a completely different answer to a totally unrelated (or
unsolicited) question or issue.

By the way, I know you didn't ask but thought I'd provide you a totally
unrelated answer...Here tis! a good dose of vaseline or heavy lube, gaff
tape and a drain plunger....should do the the trick.

 

now....thats the spirit

go run off and play in the same pit..... there's a good lad

Perhaps the word 'comment' would have been better used than 'opinion'.

Could open up a market for leather over-helmet burkhas. Who wants to be the
first?

Al

 

my helmet has horns...your call.

PS> Do you do stretchy black latex instead of leather??

 

So anyway we have now determined the proper gear for a hold up, not much
hotter than a balaclava I should imagine?

 

I nominate Clem, for a floral full length model.

Well, sought of.......

 

But since a comment is simply an opinion by a different name, they're
still a bit of twonk for getting their knickers in a twist when they
get one in response. Anyone who can't handle getting an opinion in
response to a comment should just take their comment and polish their
orifice with it.
