....with Canterbury Cathedral and a shop solely devoted to honey, the last time that I was there, I figure that it wouldn't take much work..
Canterbury is sufficiently gay, council inspectors rule One of Britain's most historic cities, Canterbury, has been told it is sufficiently gay -
after a complaint sparked a two-month investigation costing thousands of pounds. Published: 7:00AM BST 25 Jun 2009 A government watchdog decided that
Canterbury in Kent does enough to promote homosexual culture, rejecting a complaint by local activists. The Local Government Ombudsman - who asked for the
city's council to provide evidence of how it supported the gay community - said it was satisfied the pink pound was being catered for. As part of the
investigation, the council had to prove its inclusiveness by giving details of "touring plays and musicals, for example, which would be of interest to the
LGBT community". And it had to show that it had "put forward suggestions for small events that it might help fund, as well as proposals for other
events such as exhibitions". Rob Davies, spokesman for the council, said: "Obviously we're delighted with the outcome of the investigation.
"We feel we do a great deal for the gay community in Canterbury and we have always tried to support various gay events and promotions." "But at
the same time it is not the duty of any council to set up a gay bar - that's not what councils do." The two-month investigation began at the end of
April after a letter was sent from two representatives of Pride in Canterbury

Well, for God's sakes, it's in ENGLAND, which has long been pretty much the objective correlative for buggery.
Meanwhile, take note of a post which just went up at another board: "This week we've had Rotary International meeting in Birmingham, more than 20,000 of them. So it's nice they've been able to get out and about. We're only an hour from Shakespeare's birthplace and some other bits of Ye Olde Englande which could really use the tourist dollars at the moment (Rotarians come from all over the world I know, but all the ones I've encountered have been American - they must be here in their thousands). I've been seeing the open topped tourist buses going past the office window every few minutes, and full for a change! They're everywhere you go, and they're very obvious because they seem to wear their accreditation day and night, and it's a huge plastic card hung around their necks. It has their name in large letters and an assortment of coloured ribbons dangling from it which presumably refer to the different venues they're accredited to enter. " No comment.

As silly as hosting a Star Trek convention and having to provide enough local lasses so that every trekkie can get laid.
