I'm just curious if anyone every walked into a library on a Tuesday, read the Bible/Quran/Torah etc with no underlying emotional turmoil in their life and decided it all just adds up. Having been brought up in a very "Christian" family, I can confirm that in my experience the overwhelming majority of people who came to that particular faith in adult life did so as a result of being evangelised/indoctrinated by someone who already believed. My take is that it is an impossible ask for someone to read the source text and arrive at the conclusion that the modern churches have got the interpretation spot on.

Rds1983 Posted April 24, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 24, 2022 Having moved to Cheshire last year I was a bit shocked to see the local chip shop selling 'smack'. Not entirely sure what it is and kinda scared to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss those things down here - I had my folks down last weekend and my old man asked for one. "What's that?" they asked in the local chippy.

Plus I think I'm going to keep thinking their actually selling heroin. Why else would they have a cash only policy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be in pretty much every chippy in Brum but I've noticed a big drop off in recent years. For a while they were a menu item but not kept in the heater and now it's rare to even see them on the menu. Strange really, I love a good potato scallop.

Phil Silvers Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 A battered scallop butty with BBQ sauce is a thing of beauty, better still, no sauce and go for a gravy pot to dunk the butty in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
