German Bank Robbers Only Supposed To Blow The Doors Off?

The classic phrase from the original film, ‘The Italian Job’ with Michael Caine definitely came to mind when I read of a German gangs attempt to rob a bank. If only they had Michael Caine standing their saying, “You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!” when their explosive charges had destroyed the bank yet left the cash machine they were after still securely fixed to the ground.

Apparently they left empty handed and I imagine a little sheepishly and perhaps deaf from the blast and a somewhat shell shocked. I doubt the police are looking for anyone with previous explosives experience.

Council Sign Painters Need A Big Rubber

There were reports yesterday of council contractors painting a ‘No Entry’ sign on the road but they spelt it wrong and it said ‘NO ENTRT’ You have to wonder how such a thing can happen.

Maybe they Two Mr T men in that day and forgot to get the man who does the Y’s.

The council said they rely on their contractors to do they work as required and they just do spot checks now and again. Maybe they need to do spellchecks as well.

Primark Withdraws Padded Bikini Tops For Children

It seems astonishing but in an age when the only thing companies seem to think about is profits perhaps we should not be too surprised. Primark had been selling a range of bikini sets for children with the tops being padded with the intention of making the children look rather more adult shaped.

Now I am sure that most adults would read that and think it ridiculous so how come Primark failed to do so? To their credit they have responded to criticism by withdrawing the range of items and also intending to donate any profits made on these to a childrens charity but they should be asking themselves how the decision was made to stock such things in the first place.

Let us hope lessons have been learned throughout the retail industry that sexualizing children is not considered to be a good thing to do.
