To think that children should not be allowed in Ann Summers shops?

I was in the East Kilbride Ann Summers shop today and there were two children in there with their parents - ages between 12 and 14 I reckon. I had no idea kids were allowed in. I asked the shop assistant and she said they were allowed but only in the front part of the shop. As she was telling me this we could both clearly see the kids standing in the back of the shop, right next to the vibrators and fetish gear.
As for the front of the shop - it had a manniquin wearing a PVC rubber bra and pants, and the peephole bras and crotchless pants were the featured display right next to the door.

Ann Summers thinks it is ok for kids to see this, what do you think?

Dildo or vibrator at 15 no!
But our hand held shower used to get through a hell of a lot of hot water.

Oh FFS! Who the flippity fuck resurrected this fecking thread?

I HATE it when people do that! Who was it? I'm going to look and bloody well message them.

I think those vile shops should be cleared out of the high street. They are nothing but pornography. Totally and absolutely unaccepable in any way.

Viviennemary · 01/02/2013 11:47

Old thread. Didn't realise. Rant for nothing. Grin

Bloody hell....taken in by a zombi!!

I like them. Not that what I choose to spend my money on has anything at all to do with you.

Kaekae · 01/02/2013 12:02

I think you have too much time on your hands to let it bother you so much you have to come on here to discuss it! Hmm

Dh and I have visited AS together but never with children. The Oxford street one had staff approaching and ID'ing young people in the downtairs bit. The braehead shop is dark and you go into a sort of cave. But no way would I take my children there. We had a very unhappy teen daughter the other day when she spied the Ann Summers bag in our room from about 3 years ago when I bought some underwear. She was not amused with us.

i think depending on age and emotions some teens should be aloud in 14up i think could go in if they dont cause trouble and act mature

If i comment on this thread - having commented back in 2011 - does that count as sockpuppeting? Confused

AdeleDazeem · 29/06/2015 21:54

Any vibrator I've bought that hasn't been Ann Summers has been inferior.

Coral is a high street brand but children are banned from there. Given a choice between the two the bookmakers would be a less harmful choice I think...

RepeatAdNauseum · 29/06/2015 22:06

Coral is a gambling shop, gambling regulations forbid children.

Also, this thread is from 2011.
