oh here we go again, I stated a fact based on what the OP had himself said with a profile stating he was part of a couple and looking to meet other couples and a post stating that his wife had refused to swing and that he was looking to meet on his own. If it was not fact why has he now changed his profile to that of a single male ?
You on the other hand have decided that what I have said (and the others that agree) is just rubbish because your view is the only relevant and true view, you cannot prove that what I have said is rubbish, it is just your (and any others that agree with you) opinion.
Sorry Mids, but you're talking rubbish again. Please when making comparisons compare apples to apples and not to oranges.
When applying to the council for a gay sauna licence then the appropriate comparison would be to just a sauna, not a swingers club! And of course the council can refuse it on the grounds of being a sauna! whosoever it was for would have no bearing on their decision, but it may have bearing on the publics planning objections, which the council have to take in to account.
Why would I compare a gay sauna where men engage in sex with each other to a sauna where men and women have, errrrrrr a sauna, why would I not compare it to a swingers club where men and women and sometimes women and women and sometimes men and men have sex with each other ?
and then you go on to say that the council would not refuse planning permission because it is a sex club but might refuse planning permission because it is a sex club (albeit because of public objections)
Meanwhile I have a question regarding your statement ......
"Within the next ten years, probably by 2020, we will be at war in Africa. I wonder how many people will agree with us 'going in' at the time, and how many of them will moan about Ugandan immigration then."
What evidence/proof do you have that this Nation will declare war on a or a number of African Nations, or that a Nation or Nations within the Continent of Africa will declare war on the United Kingdom ?

Class C – Hotels, Hostels and Dwelling Houses
Class C1
Class C1 deals with hotels, boarding houses, guest houses and hostels. This does not include premises which offer care as part of their services. That is to say, these premises ‘regular hotels’ open to the general public, rather than those for guests or residents with special needs.
Class C2
Class C2 does cover such types of premises, providing they are residential:
Hospitals and nursing homes.
Schools, colleges or training centres
Class C3
Class C3 addresses use as a “dwelling house”, as a principal or secondary residence:
This class is formed of 3 parts:
C3(a) covers use by a single person or a family (a couple whether married or not, a person related to one another with members of the family of one of the couple to be treated as members of the family of the other), an employer and certain domestic employees (such as an au pair, nanny, nurse, governess, servant, chauffeur, gardener, secretary and personal assistant), a carer and the person receiving the care and a foster parent and foster child.
C3(b): up to six people living together as a single household and receiving care e.g. supported housing schemes such as those for people with learning disabilities or mental health problems.
C3(c) allows for groups of people (up to six) living together as a single household. This allows for those groupings that do not fall within the C4 HMO definition, but which fell within the previous C3 use class, to be provided for i.e. a small religious community may fall into this section as could a homeowner who is living with a lodger.
Class C4
Houses in multiple occupation - small shared houses occupied by between three and six unrelated individuals, as their only or main residence, who share basic amenities such as a kitchen or bathroom.
Class D – Non-Residential Institutions
Class D1
Class D1 covers many ‘public’ services (which do not fall under Class A):
Medical or health services premises which don’t form a part of the practitioner’s home
Crèches, day nurseries or day centres
Premises for education,
Premises which display works of art without commercial transactions (sale or hire)
Museums
Public libraries or reading rooms
Public or exhibition halls
Premises “for, or in connection with, public worship or religious instruction”
Class D2
Class D2 addresses the use of premises for entertainment and leisure purposes:
Cinemas
Concert halls
Bingo halls or casinos,
Dance halls
Swimming baths, skating rinks, gymnasiums or “area for other indoor or outdoor sports or recreations, not involving motorised vehicles or firearms.”
Yes pretty much grouped together as I said
Class A1 – Shops and retail outlets
For those within Class A1, the customers in all cases should be “visiting members of the general public”. Property in this area could include:
Shops (where goods are sold)
Post offices
Premises where tickets are sold and travel agents
Premises selling cold food (intended for consumption off site)
Hairdressers
Florist
Funeral directors
Premises where goods for sale are displayed
Premises where “domestic or personal” goods or services are hired from
Premises where articles are deposited for washing, cleaning or repair
And that is my point, the list is long but nowhere near long enough, so what do councils do ? bung them in to existing Sauna easy call it a gay sauna there is a legal precedence for being gay so nobody can object, "a club where adults go where we have a hot tub, sauna, steam room, sunbeds and you have to be a member to enter as it is only for private members" hmmm it's swingers club but there is legal precedence for being a swinger, there is no legal precedence for a swingers club, sod it let's just call it a private members health club we have a precedence for them.
Meanwhile back to the subject ........
Mids once again you can not see what you have said.
1. A council presumes when an application is received for a Sauna/spa it is for the same. when that application is for a gay sauna / spay the council presumes it is for exactly that. It doesn't smirk and then presume "fnarr fnarr its really all for guys giving it to one another up the chuff" So I go back to my statement please compare apples to apples.
2. You're listing property classifications, what has that got to do with licencing of a business?
Anyway back to the topic. Its been answered. Next!
Not sure what 90 percent of this bollocks has to do with Ugandan gays! Whilst you all rip lumps out of each other I might right a letter to the Ugandan gay times! Tell them they might as well stay where they are because we are too busy talking shit to give a damn!
