El Pibe Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 >> though I wonder if, when answering, CofE schools weren't really what they were thinking of.Thing is, if 'British values' are genuinely reflected by things like church fetes and the CofE, then there is probably a case to be made for a non blanket ban, just those that aren't us innit.Not so very long ago that Catholicism was decidedly unbritish, better dead than red (cassock).Its not an assertion I necessarily agree with, but it'd be intersting to have a straw poll of the incidence of fundamentalist teaching and undermining of science in the various faith schools and how CofE would fare.

The recent cases in Birmingham involved enforced religious practises.. e.g. fasting, sexual discrimination/segregation, prayer at the start of lessons, lack of sex education. In some cases racism and intolerance were actively encouraged. It's not a simple case of "Chistianity good Islam bad".

Rolo Tomasi Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Could a 747 land or take off on Barry Road? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/24301-random-stuff/page/13/#findComment-767302 Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Pibe Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 no chance of a take off given that its about 20 m wide and the wingspan is 60 odd.I reckon it could probably manage an emergency landing there if it had dumped all its fuel then i guess the wings would sheer off but the body could do well given a very slow straight approach and a bit of luck.Might be one or two insurance claims along the way though!!!
