I did tonight for the first time when i was in Tesco.I was quiet taken a back.I thought that people who wear that are not allowed eye contact with men not to mention chat.I was having a bit of a chin wag with a Tesco employee from Italy and the lady from Pakistan in a burka.I only got as far to ask her where she was from and what a pleasure it was to talk to somebody in a burka. Amazing scenes! Could anybody explain what was that all about and what does it mean please? TYIA

Have you ever talked to somebody in a burka ?

Yes I loved wearing it and was talking to someone who was wearing a Tw4tka.

not just spoken to one, but she also got here t1ts out! Was on a flight several years ago in the Gulf (Dubai I think) and a young girl was sitting next to me with her baby. She was very pleasant although didn't speak English too well. Some time into the flight she opened the front of her outfit and flopped one of her bristols out for the sprog. Seemed very bizarre, since she still had her face covered, but presumably needing to feed the baby trumps modesty in their culture.

''...and what a pleasure it was to talk to somebody in a burka''.

How weird is that!
What a pleasure it is to talk to somebody in a suit.
What a pleasure it is to talk to somebody in a tracksuit.
What a pleasure it is to talk to somebody in a sports jacket.
I cannot imagine any situation in which I'd be posting THAT burka, or any similar phrase, in a forum. Very Odd!

Incidentally - I had dinner with a Muzzy man and his wife, who'd been well and truly burka'd, in a Spanish hotel. She was not allowed to speak to me at all - he, in his NY peak cap, t-shirt and denim jeans had to speak for her.

Report Ivor December 7, 2011 6:43 PM GMT
It was interesting, yes. On a coach trip we were thrown together for a midday meal with a third couple (black man with white wife from Holland). The silence was deafening so I started a conversation by offerring the Muslims wine :). I asked the fully veiled Muslim lady direct questions several times and when asked hubby confirmed she understood and spoke English well (god knows why or how she practised lol)! The best I could get was her nodded agreement with her husbands responses on her behalf.

There were interesting moments - eg the young, clean-cut husband, when asked, in excellent English agreed he derived some pleasure from observing the topless and occasionally nude ladies on the beach whilst insisting his wife covered up at 34degrees c!
The wife's view of her 'situation' was largely 'well that's just the way it is - it's what I've always known'. I know she had a driving licence and they were both well educated and of 'comfortable means' at least.
In conclusion - we could easily have been friends with the Dutch couple they were quite normal. Grin

I had to visit a property in Birmingham which a friend of mine owns. The tenants are muslims and only the wife dressed in full burka was at home when I got there. No problems with talking to her except I had difficulty understanding her very broad Glaswegian accent.
A somewhat bizzare encounter!

when i started working for 365 as call op many many years ago, i was paired up with this pretty little thing, she was lovely, helped me navigate the telebet system and was one of the best people to get paired up with. The first 5 days flew bye and i was soon allowed on me own.

The following week / weekend when we were back in, i sat down waiting for her to come in, but couldnt / hadnt seen her. 

I had no idea, she was sat directly opposite me with her burkha on, didnt have a clue it was her. Laugh Im still friends with her on facebook to this day. She had a dodgy arranged marriage it seems but is a proper stokie.  If you closed you'r eyes and spoke to her, you'd have no idea she wasnt from Hanley.  lol.

I spoke with a young woman wearing a burka in Morrisons today.

She was in the cat food section and seemed to be having trouble deciding what to purchase, so I said "It's a problem knowing what to buy for the cats isn't it?"

She said that she didn't have cats and they were 3 strays that looked starving and she felt sorry for them as they looked hungry, and it was very cold.

I congratulated her on her compassion and suggested she call Cat's Protection who would have them neutered if nothing else but the most important thing you can do for a cat.

She thanked me, said it had been nice chatting and went on her way.

Delightful young lady.

A raider has attempted to rob bank and conceal his identity - by wearing full length BURKA

A CCTV still image was captured this morning in premises near a NatWest branch moments before the man entered the bank, threatened a staff member and demanded cash.

The stocky criminal was dressed head to toe in a black burka and was carrying a white lady's handbag.

Nothing was stolen and no one was injured, but witnesses reported seeing him carrying a gun.

Leicestershire Police are appealing for information.

Described as being about 5ft 10in, the raider, who was also wearing tinted sunglasses, fled on foot.
