Won't somebody please think of the children! Last week's front page of the Herald was the shocking news that Poundland is selling adult DVDs. Disgusted pensioner Mrs. Barbara Plumley will never shop there again.
This may seem depressingly familiar to regular readers as yet further evidence of the general moral degradation of the nation, but it is probably more familiar as it is near identical to a story carried around St. Valentine's Day where a Mrs. Barbara Plumley railed against Poundland for stocking saucy underwear. I'm fairly sure the front page picture used at St. Valentine's Day story is the same picture used this week.
There is no accusation of law breaking, and we are reassured that all staff are trained to ask for I.D. From the accompanying picture it doesn't appear that any flesh is inappropriately displayed (on the shelf or by Mrs. Plumley), although there are 'titles too filthy to print in a family newspaper'. Good to see that the Herald is protecting kids and is definitely NOT stoking anyone's interest by running the front page story under the prominent headline 'Pornland'.
Incidental - I'm typing this at midnight, and either Folkestone is turning into down-town Kabul or someone is letting off fireworks. Either way I'm sure the neighbours are pleased.
