I AM amazed that in a city that accepts so many nightclubs there should be opposition to the possible arrival in the High Street of a so-called naughty knickers shop.

Talk about swallowing a goat and then straining at a gnat!

How pathetic can you get? I am sure this shop will not cause drunkenness, bad behaviour and unwanted pregnancies in the way that nightclubs undoubtedly do.

Furthermore, the present Mayor of our city is angry because this bit of harmless titillation will be near to a "listed building."

I am surprised - judging from a previous remark, I thought this mayor favoured taking a sledgehammer to listed buildings.

BETTER Ann Summers than another fast food outlet or - even worse - an empty shop.

Ann Summers have been established 31 years and their spokesman Philip Tomey said they are responsible people. So I think they will be discreet.

I'm sure they are not going to use sex toys to decorate the window or demonstrate Rampant Rabbit outside the Guildhall.

WE don't want this sex shop in Worcester.

Most people, I'm sure will agree

It would be a great pity to see our fine city

Like Soho or seedy Paree.

Let sex shops exist where they want 'em

In Blackpool or Brighton on Sea

But Worcester knows well sex seldom will sell

We Worcester folk like our sex free.
