The butcher is trying to sell his wares to make a living and survive. What are the couple selling?

It's necessary for the butcher to put his goods on display. Why on earth do the couple need to make a show of themselves?

'fraid you'll never convert me. I'm a 'stick in the mud'. Snogging in public, crude language and the teeshirts that have swearing plastered all over them are, to me, offensive

Gordon, I love a good beard or any colour, growth or thickness

Me, too

Whey-hey look out Lord Gord!!

You make me laugh, Nippy. But he does need to know that beards are not "yech" to all women.

Me too and I what is more I am happy to be kissed in public by one

Way to go Meg

Thank you kindly ladies, for your re-assurance. At least now I can rest assured that beards are not anathema to everyone.
Chris - like most threads, this one seems to be growing, now you have extended it to "crude language and the tee-shirts which have swearing plastered all over them".
Obviously, as stated, I have no personal objection to the pastime that is the subject of this post.
As regards the language and tee-shirts, I would never use the former in mixed company nor dream of wearing the latter - both of which I too think are out of order.

Oy, that we like beards do we? I better keep the hubby locked up then
No it doesn't offend me either, the only sigh from me would be one of jealousy
I agree, although sometimes we'll have a daring hug and kiss in say the pharmacy parking area then joke that folks will notice the old people getting busy
