I know a Registry office may not seem very special.... but thats where I got married, thats because, I aint no 2 bit two faced person, that will pretend to be religious, when I really am not. And I don't like how people can make a mockery out of it. Just my opinion on the whole thing.

I quite agree, Slinky. People who do what your mate's doing annoy me too and the ones who do it with schools. It's pure hypocrisy. People want the Church to be there for their weddings and Christenings but that's the only time they set foot in the place and then they're up in arms when the Church closes due to poor attendances. They write to the Observer saying things like
'This should not be allowed to happen' and, my personal favourite, 'The council should give money to the Church to keep it open.'
Why the hell should they? If you want your Church to stay open then support it weekly, if not, shut up.
Oooooh that's better.
