The thing is all the pre Christmas hype but we aint allowed to mention Jesus. PC madness. Its not a Christmas tree its a holiday tree, nativity scenes nowhere to be seen just fat santas everywhere. Happy Holidays.....

allowed or not,

Im not what you may call a christian man in the holy sense of the word, but believe me,

my child knows what its about, and when to tell people otherwise.

even though myself I think its all wrong, and the dates have been royally f'ed up by someone somewhere in the past,

I can go with the flow, and I'll live with the mess.

actually rev, I am led to believe its now rainbow sheep, ETF,

although, thankfully my sons nursery ignored this guidance and still sang baa baa black sheep, and never to my knowledge had any problems from any parents even though some of the children were from an African origin.

Mrs S's neice 's nursary taught them 'Baa Baa Ethnic Sheep' in which her response was showing her bottom in class! EPIC

Black boards must be called chalk boards although white boards are still ok for some reason, and black bags are refuse bags. i actually got a row in a school for asking for a black bag to clean up my mess. I asked the teacher what colours the bags were and she told me yellow ones are yellow and green ones are green but these are refuse bags.

I asked which ones are refuse bags and she pointed to the black ones. She wouldnt say the word black.

I get fed up when non offensive, every day words all of a sudden become frowned upon, because someone has decided it might upset someone, somewhere, sometime.

 

[steptoe]

am I the only person to notice that its only white people that think the word black is offensive?

I have a few non white friends that think its absolutely bloody hilarious!

I have in fact pointed out to work a few times how I could sue the ass of them if anyone ever calls me IRISH (happens daily) , even though Im not, and depending on who does it, and the way they say it, as to wether or not I find it offensive or not,

still, I live with it, thats life, I get over it and work on,

gawd, maybe I should be off with stress or something....

I need a job in the public sector.....

Agreed! All CPDs should be made equal, with some being a bit more equal than others. :innocent :coat
