Wow. Honestly, I'm surprised it's taken this long for those idiots to state that they think Knockturn Alley is not safe for children. How about this? Keep an eye on your child if you're that worried about it. Plus let's face it -- they're probably just jealous that their husbands would rather go to Temptation than stay at home with them.

It's really not anywhere close to how bad it used to be. They should just be glad that it is how it is. Back in my day, which makes me feel so unbearably old to say, they might actually have a point.

	There's also the fact that a place like Temptation is a freaking strip club. If their kids get anywhere near that, then the problem's theirs, not the owner's. It's not like they market to kids. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Precisely. They need to concentrate on their own families and trust other to do the same. This constant badgering of the entire community isn't going to get them anywhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The more people like them nag me not to go to Knockturn Alley, the more I want to move there just to piss people off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's a perfectly nice place to live. I love my flat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's one of the things I love most about it. No prissy fools. Plus no one bothers me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If it wasn't for Mrs Coote's preference to live in a house rather than a flat, I'd be there like a shot. Some of the refurbished apartments look really good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's a nice place. I like it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	femmefidele 2011-03-09 06:52 am UTC (link)
	I agree. There are some places on Knockturn that aren't appropriate for my child's eyes, so here's a radical thought for that lot - I don't take her there! Perhaps they should concentrate on parenting their own children and leave the rest of us to our own. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	greenergrass_ 2011-03-09 09:20 am UTC (link)
	Exactly. I don't think those imbeciles will ever get that, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It blows my mind that they think they can get the Ministry to go in and shut down a perfectly legal business. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenergrass_ 2011-03-09 06:48 pm UTC (link)
	Just because people are taking their clothes off. I don't get it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If the stripping went on somewhere accessible by the underage then I could see where they're coming from, but it's not as though there are windows out onto the street so you can see them all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenergrass_ 2011-03-09 10:35 pm UTC (link)
	Alas, no, you would have to go inside. One wonders how these uptight ninnies know what goes on in there. Have they, gasp, gone on a bit of a field trip to find out? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	femmefidele 2011-03-09 10:38 pm UTC (link)
	You know, it wouldn't surprise me if there are some guilty consciences amongst that lot - the women as well as the men. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I doubt it matters how bad it used the be; the W&WFFF will not be satisfied until the businesses on Knockturn Alley are the exact kind they'd approve of. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	greenergrass_ 2011-03-10 01:07 am UTC (link)
	Then what's the point of Knockturn Alley? Just rename it Diagon Alley Two or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	delucapride 2011-03-10 01:58 am UTC (link)
	It's already changed from its original intent, and if that is the pattern, it will only change more in the future. The W&WFFF just want that change now instead of waiting it out naturally. Or perhaps those who own buildings and live on the street will rebel against that change. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greenergrass_ 2011-03-10 02:01 am UTC (link)
	It's true. The W&WFFF being like this is only going to push people to do the opposite of what they want. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's sad that they lack the sense to recognise that fact. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Exactly. You can comfort yourself with the thought that I will always be older than you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My boss owns Temptation and is pretty amused about the entire idea. Possibly because we've had a boost in business since they've opened their mouths. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	greenergrass_ 2011-03-10 01:44 am UTC (link)
	I can't imagine how business wouldn't get better. Just drawing attention to the fact that it's there. People are curious, people are realizing they've been missing out.... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stewinit 2011-03-12 01:23 am UTC (link)
	Exactly. This sort of publicity can only be good for pretty much every single business on that street. (Reply to this) (Parent)
