The road to common sense is paved with tenners.

Good one, ChillDoubt.

rockrose// bananasplits your have made snipy comments at me since you joined as you well know - hence I don't really care.//

good grief is there anyone that hasn't? Every time someone does not agree with you you pump out this excuse.

Seriously they could have bought a cake from anywhere given a weeks notice. At a push gone to Marks and Spencers. Again I'm glad they won their case.

[ummmm]

I got a cake made. It only took 5 days. Obviously they could do it in a day but have other orders.

I gave them a picture to put on it. My OH, drunk, asleep, standing up, with his head in his dinner.

Would a teetotal be in their rights to refuse that.

(the cake was picture perfect)

Was it a ginger cake?

[ummmm]

No...I hate ginger cake :-D

[ummmm]

And ginger nuts!!!

wow a rare outbreak of common sense, well done M'Luds.

[AuntLydia]

Ummmm // Would a teetotal be in their rights to refuse that. //

Yes, no one should be made to bake anything. If the subject offends , then the business should have to right to refuse that order.

If someone had asked for a cake to me made showing Jews going onto the gas ovens would they not have had the right to refuse that? ...of course they would.

[ChillDoubt]

In all seriousness I don’t see why they couldn’t have just gone to Asda with their own design and had it made there, thousands of other people manage to on a weekly basis.

[AuntLydia]

Chill doubt that would have been too easy and not theatrical enough.

[ummmm]

They are not 'made' to bake anything.

[Rockrose]

Chill, we don't have an Asda in the middle of Belfast, Ashers is a street away from our office allowing him to nip in at lunchtime.
Why should he go to Asda? They took his order and his money.

"Its not common sense its blatant discrimination and I really wished Gareth had won."

Good job the courts have professional judges then and it's not based from personal emotions.

[Deskdiary]

"...its blatant discrimination..."

A unanimous verdict from the judges sitting in the highest court in the land have ruled it is not discrimination - so clearly you are entirely wrong.
