Do the hosties get studs and if so where do you apply for that job?

I don't think that any of us or the article implied otherwise, we just went off on our usual tangent, taking things to the usual YD illogical conclusion

Maybe she should say something like, "God be with you." as she hands them their tickets and boarding cards, it would be fun watching the nervous flyers' reaction to that

I beg to differ, but it was focussing, as the silly wench wanted, on the wearing of a cross. Now if she were fighting for her right to wear some other piece of Elizabeth Dukes finest - perhaps a clown crying a crystal tear? - she would have been treated the same way, but folk would have laughed at her more.

Frankly, if she thinks her faith hovers around wearing a bit of gold-plated tat round her neck and that makes her some modern missionary, she deserves as much mirth!

Well I tried to avoid that in the OP, at least.

I'd only be impressed if she got the last nail in by herself.

She is allowed. No-one is stopping her, Leigh. She can wear 20 corsses, all of them as bling as she likes. They just have to be covered by her unifrom to fit BA's dress policy. As would any other necklace she chose to wear.

It is nothing to do with pc and evertyrhing to do with wearing a uniform of the employer's choice. Which is part of the job she is paid to do.

AFAIC the Lady in question has just done it to stir things up, she has seen people of other faiths in the news, and thought it a good time to raise the profile of her religion.

I was forced to go to church until I was 12 and can say without doubt that from my experiences then and afterwards, that a great many so called 'christians' are not very nice people for 6 1/2 days a week, and think that by attending church and singing loudly and nodding in agreement at the sermon will cancel out their unchristian behaviour.

Safe diving,
Steve

If this woman was told that on the job she is expected to conform to certain standards regarding uniform, then she has to conform. Else work for another employer.

I am forced to agree... although the half day a week might be an over-estimate.
