Home for battered women

curly · Post by **curly** » Fri Mar 05, 2004 2:04 am

I noticed in the Gazette that plans are afoot to build a communal home for abused women on the site of the old Dean Road School, and that the Nursery opposite has cited objections! They are worried about an influx of objectionable men!
Ironic really, considering the site had a history of objectionable men beating poor girls with canes?

oops forgot to mention about the guy over the road put in to extend his building and the council knocked him back saying that it did not fit in with the area but now the council wants to build a refuge on his door step, strange

You can do anything you want when you have the power Jimmy. It's do as we say, not as we do!

We have old joke in Slovenia.

Q. What you say to woman with two black eyes...

A. Nothing. YOU TOLD HER TWICE ALREADY.

I think refuge for battered wives is good but I thought idea was not to tell anyone where it is to stop nasty men from hanging about outside.

i also remember it was a long walk up the bank from Barnes Road to Dean Road for your school dinner (Barnes Road didn't have a kitchen). The dinners at Dean Road had to be the worst imaginable, worse that Ingham Infirmary food!
Why the hell was it always smoked cod on a friday?

Well Gazza you are a thick t**t of the first order.

But they will allow women with spotted dresses, stripey dresses and dresses with crosses on. (Honest! ! !)

But they have to be battered of course.
