I have read the article both on the internet and in todays (13.9.13) Shetland Times about "The Magpies Nest" selling golly's. I have knowing the lady that owns the shop for many years and know her very well. She is in NO way a racist. I personally find this completely out-of-order and down right cruel to say things like this about the 70 year old Shetland born lady who owns the shop. This has upset her that much that she is thinking of closing down due to this nasty write up about her. I know some folk do find golly's offensive, everyone has their own opinion. I personally don't see the problem as it is "collectors dolls" still made today by a company and is perfectly legal. I am not stating if selling golly's are p/c or not. It is certainly well out-of-order to call the lady "a grey lady" and insinuate that she is a racist and to write lies about his visit to her shop. This is more aimed at accusing the lady of something that she is NOT (racist) and writing insults about her, rather than the p/c topic of golly collectors dolls. Well and truly sickening for the lady, her family/friends and many shetlanders. Keep the shop going, ignore this write up, there are many folk behind you.
