Most religion. Judaism, at least in my family, seems to be mostly about food

All religion is indeed fairy tales for grown ups.

The Jewish families I know are passionate about food, as are many others, but I find it strange that they don't eat certain foods and miss out on some of the goodies in life such as a bacon sandwhich, pork scratchings and shellfish and have chicken devoid of taste because it is drained of blood (or something like that). But what do I care; you pays your money and takes your choice and I will eat what I like.
But I used to buy ham (yep, ham made from pigs) from a Jewish grocer (and it was very good ham). You asked for a quarter of ham and he would skillfully carve it off the bone, weigh it and then cut off a bit to bring the weight down to the precise weight asked for. The bit he cut off he would put in his mouth and eat it. So perhaps that is one myth gone west.
What he could have done was to say that the weight was just a little bit over so the price would be threehalfpence extra. So that's another myth gone west.
It is a great pity but the shop has long gone, it stocked all maner of good quality food. When I next have a moment to spare I wil tell you about his fantastic exploding jam doughnuts.

That's a very good thing you do GED. Perhaps they will reserve a place for you for when you're old and past it.

well it's just a little update for you.
Merseyside Police true to their word have followed their policies to the letter.
a Constable was dispatched to do a pre statement interview. the official reason for this is to see if i indeed had a case and if an offence had been committed. the subtext within the interview also seems to be a gentle probing into my political beliefs excetera. in other words they were looking to see if I was a member of a right wing political organisation out to try and score points. that's the way it came across and it has since been confirmed By An unconnected Officer that this is usually the case.
basically I was jetwashing the car when the jetwash packed up. as I still had a few quid in the machine I went into the garage and pointed this out. one of the managers came out and reset the Machine.just as he went back inside the machine tripped out again.
as there was still a few quid showing I went back in and asked them to transfer the funds to the next machine over so I could carry on washing the car. the guy came out reset the machine and call me a stupid English *******. I asked him to repeat himself and he said f****** stupid white ******* can't use a jet wash.
now I am in absolutely no doubt that if I had walked into the garage and used racist terms against this guy that the police would have been there before I got my keys in the ignition. he then repeated himself in front of a taxi driver who nearly took his head off.even one of his own staff berated him for using racist words.
I was just going to let it slide but a Muslim friend of mine persuaded me to report it to the police.
Merseyside police have a specialist hate crime section and they finally tracked the guy down after quite a bit of misdirection on behalf of the garage owner and interviewed him under caution today.
he eventually admitted using words of a racial nature and was ordered to do a restorative justice program which includes an apology.
so it turns out that at least on Merseyside the law is colour blind

Don’t hold your breath over the program, it could be “attend a meeting”. The apology, might or might not be actually written by this person, I’ll be generous, and say that he will copy write the apology.
You’ve had a result, and that in itself is a victory, please don’t look at the content.

to be fair, i have made my point.
what he did was wrong and his defence of "im not white so i cant be racist" p1s53d me off.
at least he now knows that there will be consequences to his actions, if only having to attend an interview.

It's a win Ged, no question.
It will get recorded as a hate crime against a white person, the swine gets a record, you see the Right Thing done, the Police get an easyish win.
You stood up for yourself, conducted yourself with dignity and proved that it is one law for all of us.
You should be genuinely proud of yourself.
Now, what have you done with the real Ged, and where do we send the ransom?

Fair play to you & the police for following it through, I genuinely wouldn't have as I wouldn't have been expected to be taken seriously.
I wonder if the guy will be forced to resign like the 'plebgate scandal'? I doubt it as he isn't a public figure so you get the satisfaction?? of him serving you every time you go in.

i`ve just been to sign the RJ consent form to say that i agree with him being dealt this way.
i took a photo with my phone so that i had a record and imagine my surprise when i got home and found his name, address, phone number and nationality on the form.......
he does indeed need to attend a group meeting that advises people that their racist attitudes are wrong. now pause and think of who normally attends these meetings...

honestly? me either. I gotta Praise Merseyside Police and their Sigma Hate crime team. did everything they said they would.
now for the other side of this.
at the time i contacted Snax 24 that runs this garage. they performed a whitewash investigation and concluded that the incident didnt happen. they claimed that their employee was innocent.....
i called them yesterday and now that he`s guilty it seems that he doesnt work for them after all and never did...
the same from BP.
and the owner shares the same surname as the cashier......
im looking forward to this bit.
