The rules are: black is white. white is white unless its green because it was formaly black. Green hasn't got a name at the moment and coffee colour also needs a new name. and dont call anyone sugar

i work on a market stall and when my boss went to the warehouse to order his stock he was told he couldnt ask for black currants or black grapes any more they were to be called 'dark' but he could still order white grapes he made 2 big signs on the stall with the word 'black' in capital letters and said if anone complained he would take them down no-one did sue c x

What do we have to call 'blackheads' on our noses etc

I find the word coffee offensive as it refers to an ethnic minority. I wish you all to order in future An infusion made from the beans of the coffea plant, please, with/without milk. (Is it ok to say milk? Milk is white, oh, and so is sugar). OC

Brian. Yes. Janice. I think you are trying to confuse me with all those colours (white, coffee, brown) Perhaps we should rename the drink

Why the chalk is green of course

So your 'little black number' (dress) is now a 'little white number' ? Or a 'little genetically suntanned (darkest shade) number'? Is a 'black tie' event now a 'white tie event' ? Give me strength !

So what colout is the chalk you write on the'whiteboard' with?

Isn't white coffee brown?!

Coffee with milk or tea without milk !!!! Use of more words than is necessary I think. Now, who wants Lancashire or Bury Black pudding for tea ? Joan

well now about the coffee - it must be known that what was called white coffee must now be called Green coffee and what was black coffee is now white. so in order not to confuse people I suggest you carry some coloured or is that black flash cards.

OBJECTION !!...........I DON'T WANT ANYTHING CALLED WHITE IT DEMEANS ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wish the people who think these things up would stand up and say 'I'm the one who suggested this stupid rule' .... so we could all have a laugh at them!!!!!!! I'm MAD now ! Norah

So does that mean in future we won't be able to ask for a black or a white coffee?? where will it end??

Lynda Yes, but you'll have to put it on e-bay as a white board, which isnt rare at all now, so no-one will buy it. OC

Oh my god a Black Bag now what next Lil

I work in a school and asked the janitor for a black bag. got told off, not politically correct my dear it is a refuse sack. xx

Its nothing new A blackboard is now known as a chalk board, and has been since the late eighties. A white board is used with white board pens, special pens like felt tips which can be wiped off with ease. These pens come in a variety of colours. Interactive white boards are connected to a computor, and using a special wand/pen enables teacher and child to interact with whatevers on screen, or simply write. We have these boards at our primary school Elaine x

Oh Lol LOL LOL! PC gone mad! Who on earth was offended by a blackboard being called a blackboard??? What about Blackbirds? What are we supposed to call them, then??!! OC

Well in that case I'm offended at it being called a whiteboard. Get it fixed PC police.

So we need new names for the colours that were previously known as white and green
