Very topical, there was a time when it was respected, but like all things, it only takes a minority to abuse it and the majority suffers. Another great limerick Jan, hugs Mick

Good one, Jan. But I can see the wisdom of the ban. Thanks for reading about the dragonflies. They're out in numbers now where I live and I enjoy watching them in their dalliance. / M

- Denmark, Sweden and Norway are three equal countries - But these three countries have led a very different policy towards immigrants - The Danes have been strict, Swedish have been nice, Norway has been in the midst of - ... many conflicts ... Anyway, we must try to understand them - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Totally daft religious nonsense. If sunlight reflecting in a woman's hair distracts Allah/God/angels, find a new god to worship (easier and less expensive than a new hairdo/chapeau/scarf, etc.). Perhaps £118 to government coffers instead of collection plates may stir up common sense. Another timely piece, Jan! Aloha! Rico
