Iranians Seize Barbie

This headline is in today’s Sunday Times.

Apparently Barbie has been banned in Iran since 1996 according to this article. So police are now seizing them in shops.

A mother is quoted as saying that her daughter says the Iranian versions, Sara and Dara (Ken) are ugly and fat.

I don’t think my children ever had a Barbie. But they were all boys. On the other hand, they didn’t have an Action Man either.

About This Blog

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.

But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.

And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.

Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.
