I am quite adept at hunting a bargain myself and known for it but would not want to be reminded of it “in that particular way.” Perhaps there was a degree of abject ignorance involved? I went through the online offerings of men’s and women’s clothes in NZ’s online department stores, late last year [one can sometimes get rather wonderful winter coats, eg. from Germany, at far less than in Oz] and apart from these terrific coats, I have to say that nearly all of the women’s offerings were pretty lacking in sophistication, if not, dare I say, downright awful! ~~~~~~ Still, NZ these days is not “totally the ends of the earth” and is a place of great physical beauty. Its where our snow bunnies shall need to retreat, when the snow expires in Oz. So I say yes, a far better standard can be fairly demanded & we should be proud that the response from NZ Jewry was prompt and assertive. [Lizzie, via Bendigo Vic]

Apparently not when it comes to recycling old malevolence. But, as they say: “When Jack speaks of Joe, it says more about Jack than about Joe”
