Guest Anonymous Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Wasting your time there Groilick.. He speaks many dialects.I looked up "unwordly pratts", In all the dictionaries I could think of, But can't find the meaning of it... Closest I could find was a reference to a 'gentlemans' club in London.I assume it's a members code of some kind?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmm - you could try looking up 'PRAT' in the singular and where it involves more than one i.e. two PRATS' (as in you and Kavi's case).... (sorry I misspelt using a double t originally).... Bye the way, the only 'club' I have been near recently, is a 'Club Biscuit'..Now go and do something useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Yep, Got it Wiktionary has it as; Prat. See also prát and přát (English slang) The female genitals. I'm inclined to agree to some extent. Though I believe that's a fairly long winded attempt at eluding the Shetlink swear filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 ^^ Very well put. Back on topic though.. As someone said earlier, We're not losing a charity shop. It's just being replaced with one that collects for a more relevant cause (for Shetlanders, at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heimdal Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Back to the original topic, I find it strange that a shop which has no capital tied up in stock ( all donated), pays no wages (apart from the manager) pays no Commercial Street business rates, finds 'trading conditions difficult'.Definitely something odd there.

Girzie Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 The rent and rates are very high, prices rose dramatically, people stopped coming in, there were many high dramas and investigations - I worked there for 12 years - managers came and went at high speed which does not make for consistency and reliable staff was hard to come by. All these things contributed to the demise of Oxfam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
