Dear Editor,
Like Mr. Kissoon, I spent a good part of my adult life living and studying in England. But unlike Mr. Kissoon, based solely on the position he has taken on this issue, I frequented many British pubs where I was served by lovely lasses dressed as wenches and experienced no instances of denigration towards these lovely ladies.
Mr. Kissoon’s comments are frivolous when one considers the numerous instances of abuse of women and children that occur in places of worship and elsewhere that have absolutely nothing to do with the way they were dressed.
In my opinion, establishments like these should be welcomed with open arms as an alternative to the “bottom-house rumshops” that grace the entire landscape of Guyana.
These establishments attract patrons who are not just looking for a “watering hole”, but a place to socialize because of its ambiance and a bit of nostalgia.
One can only imagine Mr. Kissoon’s criticism should Hooters apply for a spot at the Giftland Mall. Concerned Guyanese
