What a shame that a vicar should give this advice to his parisioners. There's enough stealing happening in stores as it is - without being given the OK to do it.

If they get caught and fined - is he gonna be prepared to pay their fines for them :?:

Rich people get fined for shoplifting Polly, poor people get sent to prison.

Mind you most poor people would be better-off in prison: Three hot meals a day, free central heating, free Sky TV, free pool tables, no rent, no poll tax and no requirement to do any work!

Polly = Merry Xmas to you and we hope that you have nice day.
A guy one of the sons knows in L'Pool regularly spends Xmas in the jailhouse at Xmas as he has no family etc., and he knows the sentencing inside out so he knows what time he will get so plans accordingly. Chris has invited him to spend Xmas/Boxing Day with the family but he says he would not like to be an inconvenience. Ye Gods, it would be cheaper for the public purse if he took our invitation up :rolling:
