[Closed] "political correctness gone mad" - first one of the day!

[img] [/img]

Ban this filth

I assume they won't be be selling plums, melons, pears, cream horns, filled baps, meatballs or any sort of bun or muffin then.

How would you like your rump?

[i]Flintshire Council headquarters in Mold.[/i]

I am offended by the name of the place... I think they should change it.

mrsMW did some research in a sweet factory for her PhD and it actually had a fudge packing department, it had a sign on the door and everything 😆

I love a good cream horn myself.

I suppose in that particular establishment there has been sustained personal jokes aimed at staff then it might be a good idea. It might not be nice if you spend your time serving people who keep making sexual comments to you based on what you're serving them. In this case it may have been a sensible thing to do, who knows?

Blame Socailism.

What will they call Cock flavoured soup?

They'll be banning the meat and two veg next! 🙂

How is it political correctness then?

There used to be a shop in St. Ives called "The Fudge Box"

One incident at one canteen at one council is newsworthy!?

shame tho cos it iz funny

Anyone having the Creme of Sum yung gai?

Double post edit.

Two sticky buns and a cream horn please ...

Like Grumm said: what does this have to do with political correctness? It's a lot of things, but it it's got sweet FA to do with politics or correctness

Is this revisionist right wing journalists applying Marxist techniques to their writing?

I have told you lot before FFS

Its " political correctness living with mental health issues"

I shall report you to a safety nazi ( or is that a different thread?)

Surely it's people using cliches like 'political correctness gone mad' as a substitute for independent and / or critical thought?

Our local Milkman is 'Dick the Milk'; has it plastered all over his van!

Very offensive not to mention rather unhygienic! 😯

TS

I have an email from our HR dep't asking us not to use the phrase 'cock up' any more in case it offends some - unspecified - person

Saying that - my female boss, only this morning, failed to adhere to this when she claimed "my arse is on the line with this one, I don't want any cock ups"

uplink - Pics, etc.

You wouldn't want them

Thankfully it was a conference call & I managed to mute the line before she heard my shrieks of laughter [I think]

One of the chaps in my office sometimes phones me up especially to call me a cock.

I listened this morning to an incredibly angry argument that a woman on the train was having with her boss. She was furious, yelling, but the language was very civil and formal. It would clearly have been better for her nerves to have called him a nob-twerp and told him to depart and befoul himself. But instead they were clearly having a slanging match the goal of which was to prove that they were reasonable people.

CaptJon - invoice for new keyboard is on its way to you .......

'is your bike wet....' 😆

CaptJon, superb, thanks!

The 'Dam really is like that as well!

Well I wont mention my 3" King Dick then, especialy as it's so rusty.

Klaus Armstrong-Braun, a county councillor, said: "I couldn't believe it, it seemed ludicrous. Spotted Dick is part of our heritage.

😕

3"?

Bigger than any of mine - I've got a 2 3/4" crowfoot I think

And don't start me on Cove Bikes!

I'd like a big pud with cream on top

it's been called spotted richard in a cafe near me for the past 15 years, seems crazy but not worth getting all twisted out of shape about. Let the PC Nazis do that......

when i was at high school one of the highlights of the day was asking for an iced cream ring from the bakers at lunchtime.

If I remember correctly, Innerleithen has a curio/antique shop by the name of "Gloryhole"...

Disgusting.

I heard of a hospital where they were told to stop referring to mentally ill patients as "loonys"..........shocking; it's madness gone politically correct I tell you.

🙂

There was a cafe in Digbeth, Birmingham called "Big Baps" pretty innocent except it was next door to a sex shop...I s****ed every day for 3 years when I went past it to work 🙂

A few years back Leeds Rhinos had a centre pairing of "Golden" and "Rivett".

I wrote to my MP.

A while back Mark Titley left Swansea RFC and in the summer they signed one of the Boobyer brothers, giving the headline "Tits has gone but we've got Boobs instead"

btw nob-twerp is a fantastic insult BD!

Pet grooming place up the road called "doggy style"

And there used to be a footballer called Quim preditably one day a harsh tackle saw him creamed.

Honestly you couldn't make this stuff up.

Quite afew years ago, we supplied 20 "Blackboards" to a charity supported by a large council, a few days after sending in the invice we got a letter, adviseing us not to call them "Blackboards", and that the correct term was chalk boards.

A few weeks latter we where asked to supply some white faced boards for painting on, i phoned up to ask what we should call them as "Whiteboards" was obviously racist against white people.

The answer "Easels"

I suppose in that particular establishment there has been sustained personal jokes aimed at staff then it might be a good idea. It might not be nice if you spend your time serving people who keep making sexual comments to you based on what you're serving them. In this case it may have been a sensible thing to do, who knows?

Or maybe the person serving the food when faced with such "unfunnyness" could say, look dickhead. Its been done to death. Its not funny so just pick up your food and **** off. Or is that a bit too real world!
BTW, sorry if it offends!

Lol at surfer. That would be my attitude exactly. I'd have a sheet of card covered in tally marks, and make an obvious addition every time someone cracked the joke, saying 'old, older, oldest', and leave it at that. Complaining just makes people think 'narrow minded git'.

ahem...........

I think this thread needs some Spotted Dick jokes...

Only in Spain is this appropriate

where's the next mtb race
Ae
I asked where the next MTB race is 🙂

Seriously folk Klaus Armstrong Braun is the newt loving member for the planet on the council. .full on green credentials.. the sort that ensures at public inquiries he turns up with branded Gucci clothing...

Anyway so much for being an a front to his Heritage he was born in German occupied Poland... and gets very offended when his many detractors refer to him as Kraut... there are some heritages we like to forget

I reckon it's a sh*t driving job 🙂

Bum. Can't get the link through the swear filter! Ignore this.

[u]Spotted Dick back on council menu[/u]

[i]The council now says the pudding will revert to its traditional name.

But it has warned customers who act in a "childish way" to behave themselves or they will be refused food.
[/i]

No s****ing or the dick gets it!
😉

[i]Now the council's chief executive, Colin Everett has said: "Although the majority have seen the humorous side of the story, the impression given in the media that the council might have been 'politically correct' has led to some derision and, sadly, to a number of abusive letters being sent in from across the country." [/i]

I promise you it wasnt me! 🙂

Yeah Stoner, it's not the name that's offensive, it's what the British call a ****ing "dessert" that's offensive.

Because I'm sorry mate, but any nation who's favourite dessert consists of a lump of tallow which is boiled for 2 hours and has a few raisins thrown in so it can be called Spotted Dick, hardly understands the culinary delights of life.

Calf suet ffs

Every time somebody says "political correctness gone mad" I hear it come out as " I am a thwarted bigot with no usable deductive faculties of my own and believe everything I read at face value, without bothering to think or reason any deeper into the issue, and am probably at least a closet conservative anyway" dunno why, just do.....:)

Fat, flour, sugar, flavourings.
That's the basis of all desserts, isn't it?
Spotted Dick is no different in that respect to pastries or gateaux or churros or whatever.
