Miscellanious: Funny historic fact about Almendralejo

[KinkyOne]

I apollogise if this thread isn't something that we should share on this forum and therefore ask the mods to remove it if it is so.

But... Today I saw an article in Slovenian newspaper from 1927 (Narodni dnevnik, Feb 5th 1927) that the major of the town of Almendralejo (https://www.gronze.com/etapa/villafranca-barros/torremejia) did something quite, let's say, smart. The town's budget was on nil and he thought of putting up new taxes. Taxes on food, cars, fiestas etc., but was afraid of turmoils. Then he got this idea from the church that was complaining all the time about girls wearing skirts too short (no info on lenght in article though ) and that was put into town legislative. Girls/women were fined of course but gained one month permission to wear "short" skirts and they would pay fine again next month.

Girls were fine with that, town budget was fine with that and male citizens were also fine with that...

Are you kidding me?! Fine the men gawking at these long legged creatures. After all, isn't all that for their benefit. It's not as many of the men in that village would make good sugar daddies.

Creatures... created by God. Yup, creatures. In Spanish, creaturas. Also what children are called: "Mira eas creatura".

Yeah, a gremlin is not what Spaniards mean when they refer to a brat, sorru, child, as a "creatura", but it might be right up my alley.

Me thinks we would get along wonderfully... as long as you go off to walk 3 months out of the year, me two, and that whole I walk mine you take care of my dogs. Then all expenses come put of your illimited bacnk account, and mine just gets filled up from it. Finally, during the 7 other months ... rats! 7 months... how will we get away from each other without raising eyebrows?

The only post that has been deleted was a duplicate post of Kinky's original. But you two could continue this in private, methinks.

My jet lagged brain is having trouble following the conversation, so I will leave it to you two to delete what you think should be deleted.
