(I’m assuming here that showing your balls to a guide dog isn’t an offence, BTW, just in case I’m wrong in that) Shameless indecency, the act is the crime not who did or didn't see it. It would be assumed you did it for your own gratification so it would be the sex offender register for you and some kind of pathway programme to stop you being naughty.

Granny Danger Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Saw a report of a crime carried out in ‘broad daylight’? Why ‘broad’? Is there such a thing as ‘narrow daylight’? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there such a thing as ‘narrow daylight’? The phrase “broad daylight” goes back far enough to be used in translating the Bible. The conventional meaning is “during the day when people can see it, and could thereby observe it or prevent it”. Daylight refers to periods including nautical twilight, dusk and dawn…all periods with direct or reflected sunlight (however, one can argue about moonlight being reflected sunlight too). Twilight is the closest to your narrow daylight, as it literally means half-light. Edited August 12, 2023 by TxRover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One definition of Broad is "clear and open, full", hence broad daylight, as in full daylight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I would agree that the act is the crime, Scots Law demands corroboration. If the only evidence is the perpetrators admission, he shouldn't be found guilty without at least one piece of evidence (however tenuous) to back up his version of events. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Taking my kids out for dinner in Glasgow later and they want to go for a "mocktail" beforehand. Can anyone recommend a place in Glasgow for this, that will allow kids in at about 4pm? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
