FabSwingers.com forum: upset this morning

Got to work the morning to find the sign for my shop on the other side of the road with a sticker on it saying "Stop your sexist bullshit"

Someone must have done it overnight and it has left me a bit pissed off and if I am honest upset, why can't people just mind they on business

Should have said it's an adult shop, all the sign said is "adult shop" with an arrow pointing down the road.

Report it to the police and get some cctv installed on the front of your shop. If they do it again get them on camera.

It's at the top of the road so no cctv and I think the police have better things to do.

Ah!

Sorry that happened to you, OP.

When I was in law school I worked for a famous female lawyer who was well known for defending pornography and stripping, etc, on free speech grounds.

Anyway, one of my jobs each morning was to listen to and record all of the hate messages and death warnings she got on her phone overnight.

Sorry from the OP it sounded like the sign was on the front of your shop?

If it's a portable sign which you put at the top of the road then best option would be to bring it indoors overnight and put it back out each morning.

I understand a lot of people didn't like sex shop fine, don't come in but a lot do what gives someone the right to tell anyone what to do

In all fairness,whoever did this has no idea what sexism is.... Granted I am blonde and not all that bright,but simply running an "adult shop" is not sexist!! It's like Ann Summers,just catering for more refined palet I should imagine!! Don't let this upset you OP!! They were just jealous they can't get a job at your place!!

I'm in the same boat and have been happily for 15 years now and in that time I've had all that crap and more.

Paint on the window with all kinds of rubbish written in it ..and spelt wrongly in many cases which I must admit even while I'm cleaning it off does raise a wry smile!

I've also had all kinds of rubbish put through the letter box including some really not very nice things.

Oh and just the odd little campaign every few years to get us and the other business's of our ilk in the area closed down. We get on really well with all the other business in the street including the people who the charities and hostels and all the residents to the point that a few of them even have their parcels dropped here when their not in.

The trouble is usually started by somebody not from the area who buys a flat to let it out and thinks their gonna start some kind of moral crusade for everybody's benefit.

We've seen 'em all come and go and I think you've got to be a bit thicker skinned than that even though you have my sympathy.

Right. I agree. But it's, I would think, expected. Just take the sticker off and move on. That's what the woman I worked with effectively did each day.

I'm pretty sure they have to adhere to regulations and even put their sex toys out of sight too.

I don't condone vandalism but come on pal..Kids obviously have to pass the sign everyday should have known better than to advertise sex right in view of passing public. let's face it, if your looking for a sex shop u don't need a sign to direct you where it is.

It's against their license as they're not protecting children. Same as your license.

A lot of them are not licensed as less the 25% OF there stock is not classed as adult, I think Ann aummers only has about 6 license shop

Cos you have a duty to protect children from your shop and only advertise to adults who wish to shop there. That's a condition of your license, and why I said I didn't think those boards were allowed for your industry.

It's not about being offended, it's about the shop not adhering to their license duties. It's silly to risk a business by dancing around the regulations.

Doesn't seem like OP cares though, so I guess he'll carry on until his license renewal is refused due to objections.

"I didn't think that kind of advertising was allowed for adult shops. It's post-watershed stuff, so I expected you to needed to have discretion.

Like Anne summers in the high street?

Do they put up a-boards saying "adult shop" this way?

I'm pretty sure they have to adhere to regulations and even put their sex toys out of sight too.

I don't know.. Just don't see the big issue... And yes I have kids.. If they asked... They would be told it's an adult shop for adults and you will know when you're an adult..

The world just needs to live and let live..if it doesn't affect you in any way, why take offence to it

It's not about being offended, it's about the shop not adhering to their license duties. It's silly to risk a business by dancing around the regulations.

Doesn't seem like OP cares though, so I guess he'll carry on until his license renewal is refused due to objections.

He said it was legal.. And passed by local council.. Who are we to say he is lying?

Cos it's clearly not. OP's text is not a Gospel. I think we know who did it

Sorry mate but I know the law with a sex shop I been doing it a long time and I am NOT BREAKING ANY LAW or getting around any I CAN place the sign there and have check first "

How is placing an advert in a public street, not on your premises, protecting children from your advert? I don't know how you think that's adhering to your duty or even appropriate.

You're running your business like an incompetent person. I don't believe for a second that you understand your license duties at all, hopefully you're the only employee and you're not putting others at risk for your dimness.

You've missed my point, perhaps re read what I posted.

Can you turn this into a PR stunt, use it to get positive publicity. That might stop them when it backfires.

I'm sure the public will turn out in thousands for support of man who had sticker put on sign and moved a few metres.

Is street advertising permitted on public land there? A lot of people have been removing street clutter, so you may be fortunate that it hasn't been taken away.

That said, there's no reason to claim your shop is sexist without evidence - which I'm assuming is non-existent.

I'd probably think it's connected to alcoholic consumption and disrespect.

OMG you really have no idea do you, your really trying to tell me that you know the law better then someone who has been in the business over 15 years, wow, the law states I can't advertise a product or so anything explicit nudity, all I have is two words on the sign, my friend I think you have a problem not me.
