Saw this place and the missing apostrophe* today for the first time and guess who it reminded me of...JR8 wrote:'Lowrys Farm' clothes shop. Wonder what country that's from, and, they forgot the apostrophe.
Second time in this thread I'm seeing this term, which is new to me, and while it sounds derogatory, I'm not sure what axe-faced actually looks like. Probably not as bad as axed-face would though.JR8 wrote:Axe-faced caucasian women. Where are they from I wonder, Australia, America?
Sorry, what has that got to do with feet hygiene? I live in the UK, I am from Italy. In none of these countries do you take your shoes off to view a flat where no one is living/unfurnished.x9200 wrote:If you follow some basic feet hygiene the shock can be negligible.stuckmojo wrote:of course.

Technically it's probably less hygienic feet-wise as you see some pretty gnarly feet in Singapore but more hygienic house-wise as dirt from shoes is not tracked in.stuckmojo wrote:Sorry, what has that got to do with feet hygiene?

Do you expect the removal people to take their shoes off as they bring the furniture as well?
Well just to be clear (again), none of the impressions are meant to be derogatory. They are *impressions* born of an instant, and not statements of fact.Brah wrote:Second time in this thread I'm seeing this term, which is new to me, and while it sounds derogatory, I'm not sure what axe-faced actually looks like.

Curious how Aussies and Americans are suspect but not those from the UK.
Yes. It's weird, It's like the state being so in my face. .... Showing my passport to buy shampoo .... is this for real!?x9200 wrote:Nizoral, right? I still did not figure out why. Ketoconazole seems not on the NEA controlled substances list. Similarly they will record your ID for buying Nurophen.JR8 wrote:- Having to show my passport to buy a bottle of anti-dandruff shampoo.
