Gentlemen,
Here's another one for you.
Apparently the Scottish Maritime Museum in Ayrshire has stopped using the words 'She' or 'Her' when referring to a ship because some nutter has been scratching out any such reference on its signs!
No doubt our own National Maritime Museum in Greenwich will follow suit fairly soon as we all must be politically correct.
Wot a lot of plonkers!

Re: More Mad PC-ness
Gentlemen,
To add to my last post, apparently Waitrose were selling chocolate ducks with the names like Fluffy,Dilly and Ugly (after the ugly Ducking song of the 1950's!)yet someone complained that because it was dark chocolate it was racist, no doubt that if it had been white chocolate nothing would have been said!
Also, I hear that at one kindergarten school were parents and their children sing songs, like the 'Little piggy went to market' has been changes from 'this little piggy ate roast beef' to 'this little piggy had sandwiches' to avoid upsetting the Vegan brigade.
You couldn't make this up!!!
What is the UK coming to putting up with this sort of tosh?

I don't let other people dictate how I use the language.
