you do wonder where common sense goes to sometimes....

Andy, I think it's here on these boards. Haven't seen it anywhere else lately.

The only way to fight it is with ridicule. I like the term 'genetically suntanned'. I have a pair of genetically suntanned labrador dogs.

This has all got out of control it seems - who says that this old rhyme has to be rewritten ?? the teacher or someone at a higher level ? and who tells them ?? What about Black Beauty ? still valid ? or does the horse have to be recoloured ? Do our censuses have to be rewritten to retitle a 'blacksmith' ? and what about Blackpool, Blackburn ............ ? What is surprising is that there appears to be no retaliation to this nonsense. Many of the good comedians of the past seemed to suddenly drop out when this PC nonsense arrived - yet ... I saw Dave Allen shows being repeated somewhere on Freeview ... and you know what he was like with his jokes about the Irish .. so how is that channel getting away with it ?

LUNACY!!!!! what utter rubbish!!!

Must object to the sexist poem about nanny-goats! What's wrong with grandad-goats then? Why are they left out? And curly-haired goats........someone got a problem with straight-haired goats!? An obvious compromise to black sheep/white sheep.........grey sheep!! 'Baa-baa grey sheep' sounds good to me. Brian, ; < 0 ))

On behalf of all 'Rainbows' I object ( as a minority we,re not around very often).to being compared to a Sheep. Hal.:0<))))))))>

Why is it called politically correct and not socially correct. We greived the passing of Mr Commonsense years ago. We are Doomed I tell you, Doooomed. Have a good day everyone!

I have seen a flock of Zwartble sheep, but am I allowed to describe them? For a picture, see www(.)livestock-sales(.)co(.)uk/mart/pedigree_sheep/zwartbles.html remove the brackets

And what about my local baker who sells 'Norfolk Nobs' in his window display - is that abusive to us locals?

Its too silly for words, l don't know a single black person who is offended by it, the pc brigade stir up more racism by these actions than the BNP. Anne

I was once told off by a nurse for saying I had a black man's pinch, I was told it is now referred to as a blood blister. M.
