I cannot get that page to do anything but just announce its title and click constantly. Maplin the shop or Maplin sands the place?

On line newspaper article about a Maplin electronics shop where perves allegedly organise dates (Cottaging)? Bristol apparently.

Owner/propieter denies all knowledge.

It is a satirical site, posing as a newspaper. The basis of the article is the premise that, because Maplins sell things that don't interest women, going there has become a perfect excuse for men who have a female partner to meet other men for sex. I think they normally base the articles on a genuine news story; the same site also has an article suggesting that betrothed gay couples will be touring drought hit countries in order to get God to make it rain there as well.

For you brian

ELECTRICAL goods specialist Maplin is a front for cottaging, it has emerged.

The chain of stores, which sell things that no woman will ever desire, provides the perfect excuse for discreet gay action.

Network engineer Stephen Malley said: ?All the other excuses ? walking the dog, checking the guttering, watching the J-League play-offs on Al Jazeera Sport ? wear thin eventually.

?But tell the wife you?ve got to nip to Maplins for a phono audio to HDMI converter and she never asks any probing questions.?

Undercover police discovered the sex ring when an inquiry about high-performance graphics cards saw them ushered into the back where a naked man asked if they were after a positive or negative terminal.

After no more than 10 further visits to confirm their suspicions, the officers reported their findings.

Eleanor Shaw of Bristol, whose husband is a Maplin regular, said: ?I knew he couldn?t need that many external hard drives. Deep down, I knew it.

?It even has pulsing disco lights in the window.?

A Maplin spokesman said: ?I?m confused about this ?sex with women? people keep mentioning.

?Is it something like a four-pin male to 15-pin female adaptor? Because we do stock those.?

But they kind of spoiled the story by illustrating it with a photo of a Maplin's store that isn't in Bristol!
