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.

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

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

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

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!

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

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 ))

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

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 ?

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

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

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

Its b****y stupid!!! Maddy

does that mean we soon wont be able to buy black ink for the printers then. jean

I wonder what the PC brigade would say about our Nig Nog Biccies? That would give them something to get their black & white's in a real old twist...... fools!! Its a recipe that granny handed down to us, no idea why they are called that either .....any one know? any one remember baking these? LOL

So that means black and white underwear is out - gonna get pretty chilly then

My son was working in a tv studio when an email came round (seriously) saying that in future they should only ask for 'coffee without milk' in the canteen. The guy who larfed the loudest was a black technician. Ridiculous isnt it. What does coffee have to do with race? So is a white coffee not allowed? What if you want a black dress in a shop - what will we have to say for that?

Dawnie - don't get me started on coffee machines! Bring back the tea lady! Better tea and coffee, biscuits AND the latest gossip!!! Those were the days!

Does it mean they have changed all the drinks machines everywhere to say with and without instead of black and white. Wow just think what that money could of been spent on.

Oh crikey, I have a black and white dog - what colour do I describe him as now? White and non-white???
