Well Paul, I'm epileptic and that's the first I've heard of it, lol! And no, I'm certainly not offended by it. As for my brain? Er, ................. For crying out loud, whatever's happened to our country? It gets madder by the minute, it seems! I still refuse to forget my lovely childhood Golly, so if anybody is offended by that - tough, lol! Glenys x

Its a mad mad mad WORLD.......... I think people involved should be allowed to votes when these other do gooders want to change Road Names, School names etc., its not very fair imposing other people's will on others, just because the Western World has gone Politically Correct MAD! Baa Baa Pink sheep doesn't have the same ring to it. Oops apologies to all the Pink's out there. Its ridiculous Pat x

Dave goes to Uni one day a week...and he told me that your not allowed to call blackboards blackboards anymore and the same with whiteboards...cos apparently thats offensive!! xx

So what colour do they say a Black Sheep is then?

Sorry just realised that what I have just written has nothing to do with the thread title. but I still think it's stupid.

my grandchildren are now singing baa baa pink sheep!if ever you did wat on earth is that suppose to mean? i think its nothing more than an insult to our grandparents who fought for a better country,and many of them lost their lives doing so. it makes my bloody boil.so much for the saying"when in rome do as the romans do!!!" susie

Talking about stupid names. They have just built some houses up from me and one of the roads is called Benny Hill close. I know he used to do a milk round somewhere in Eastleigh but that is just plain stupid. And another road that lead past the council offices, has just changed names it is now called Kornwestium way. How many people would remember that. I went round to my Mums and said you know that road Kornwestium. she had no idea. Absolutely ridiculous.

lin the other day at a meeting i was told you cant use the phrase 'brain storming' because it offends epileptic people! the worlds gone mad!!

Moo moo Jersey cow now aint it? My kids go to catholic run schools, and now there's so many asylum seekers even they've started it. Three of a class of fifteen don't speak English. How much does this detract from the attention my daughters get? OOPS!! better be careful...don't want to be accused of being a racist!

I've got news for you Craig poor Baa Baa's been slaughtered. Lin

No more Baa baa black sheep!?

A school named after a Christian Saint may be given a new title to avoid affending other religions. St Mary Magdalene could be too upsetting a name for Minority faiths - The school was first named in 1710 in Islington. I sometimes travel around and see stupid names of places/roads and buildings that peeves me off, and the majority of the time I wonder what type of drug or how much they are getting paid to think up these half-witted names - talk about cotten wool nation. Oh by the way the St Mary Magdalene school is still being sponsered by the Church - who's arses are they crawling up? Lin
