“I for one praise woman power on this one, two female staff against 3 blokes still out trick or treating, and to think they were waiting inside when they opened up, having a guess, but they must have been after something other than what's on sale in store, or they wouldn't have stuck around, and needed a key to something, to which I'm guessing they girls had. So well done girls, GIRL POWER !!!”

“Unfortunately Inside Story, they haven't made a camera that can see behind masks. That aside, the picture is left wanting on quality which I am sure is what you meant :)”
