Bernadette's concern about security in Banks or Jeweller shops is very valid..and motorists have raised the query about not being able to see an adjacent drivers face etc.
No doubt our Security Services find such dress handy for their own covert activities.
One is concerned too about Burka and Nijab clad women being subject to cruelty or unwelcomed restrictions by their menfolk..and perhaps mothers in law too! I would rather they were less prevalent.
I have never in my life before spoken to (I presume) a lady wearing a Burka..let alone a Nijab..until today!!
In Hounslow High Street,it was necessary for me to visit a Mobile Phone repair shop and to my surprise a nijab clad person was serving customers!
The male manager was very helpful and personable and my camera was itching to get out of my pocket. I mentioned to both of them that I have never been served by someone in that dresscode before..and there was some jollity. The lady had white hands and spoke beautiful English. I asked her if she was English, "Yes" she said.."Born Here" I asked. "Yes"
I told her she looked stunning in her outfit and indeed (mentioning Claire's quote that eyes are the prime sexy thing) looked sexy!!! How did I get away with that?
The eye slits were so narrow I couldn't tell you the colour of her eyes. But the event there was memorable.
The customer service provided by the shop was excellent. They were most helpful. A photograph was allowed.
