Last night my wife mentioned the Body Shop for gifts... no, no, no... boycott.
I signed a petition re: Body Shop, I must see if it's the same one. Cheers and thanks!

It;s the same one. They are all over the world. They started in Brighton, UK where I went to school. A woman founded the Company. And she puts her nose in various social issues.

Thanks, I know all about it, yep, Body Shop gal is a real twit; being polite. I believe she tried to do the double-shuffle on us and attempted to convince the public, she wasn’t how she’d been portrayed.
I have some roots in Brighton, although I haven’t been there for decades.
The Brits have more than their share of idiots from the lunatic-fringe.

unfortunatley she and the company are Australian.

That is true Leon, however Australians Graeme Wise and Barrie Thomas
did apply for a franchise from the founder Anita Roddick in 1983.

In her own words:

[.. At 9 o'clock on Saturday, 27 March 1976, the first The Body
Shop opened its doors for business at 22 Kensington Gardens,
Brighton ..]

(Brighton, which as we know is in East Sussex - England )

It's pretty much a global, international business with
tremendous influence over fashion and youth.

best regards

I disagree. She is British from Littlehampton, Sussex and opened her first shop in Brighton.
