So that is what they look like underneath those Burkas.

I am not so sure they ALL look like that.

Ah! welcome back VHG, I have had to do your job, while you have been away, already 3 repeats on my question regarding the FA.

Or don't it count unless it is me who dares to repeat?

'They'? Who, pray is 'they'?

Self explainable, check your dictionary.

THEY:- "The people already referred to", in this case 'Muslim Women'..

Or is 'THEY', another word that has been removed from the English Dictionary in case it offends?

[andy-hughes]

OK, calm down, I was only asking!

Speaking of dictionary checking, 'explainable' is not listed - I think the word you are looking for is 'self-explanatory' (with a hyphen!)

But hey, let's not get into grammatical nit-picking shall we? Life's too short!

/// OK, calm down, I was only asking! ///

There are ways of asking and just being demanding.

/// Speaking of dictionary checking, 'explainable' is not listed ///

It is in mine:- Explainable - Capable of being explained or Made plain to the understanding. Capable of being interpreted

Agree though, I could have also used 'self-explanatory'.

But please tell me, why did you really ask your question?

/// They'? Who, pray is 'they'? ///

I think you in actual fact, knew the answer.

If I appeared to be demanding, my apologies - an ongoing failure of printed communication - sometimes an innocent question can appear hectoring.

I checked 'explainable' in an on-line dictionary - not listed - again apologies, that will teach me to try and be a smart-bottom!

I asked my question in the nasture of a gentle dig at the use of a generic term - probably not as appropriate reading it now as it felt when i was typing it!

Still, with the compromises possible between mature adults - onwards to the next debate ...

[anotheoldgit]

Thanks for that andy, no hard feelings eh?

[andy-hughes]

Of course not - the AB is nothing without a little sparring between its senior (ahem!) gentlemen ...
