So today we had another journalistic mind bomb dropped upon us through the media of TV. Today we watched a show I always glazed over called Shameless surrounding the funny goings of a working class council estate in Manchester called Chapsworth. While watching we had to pick out from the story newsworthy stories which could go in the local paper. Below is mine.
Complaints against a struggling convenience shop had been made after allegation of a sex line being ran from the business causing havoc and offence for customers over the past week.
Customers claimed that while being served they were subject to till assistants describing sexual activities over the phone to clients through the use of crude and sexually disturbing imagery.
One local 19 year old local mother with three children found the talk to be "right disgusting and messing with her kid's heads".
The local secondary school is also looking into further action against the shop and hot line after students who went to the shop in their lunchtimes began to behave in a appropriate manner after hearing the crude descriptions of erotic behaviour whilst being served.
Mickey Masters a parent of two amid friends with the shop owner has also took it on himself to end to the controversy single handily. "These people need help so I've volunteered to stay on the sex line 24/7 and persuade these people to stop this. I don't care how long it takes or even how stubborn they are, I wont rest until I've spent my time on the phone to them."
Frank Gallagher who is regular at the shop seemed to stunned to pass comment over the situation, responding with disgust and shocked muttering at what was happening. The local council have been informed and a formal investigation has begun in a bid to have the phone line shut down.
