Following on from Sleeping Beauty, Kleenex have decided to change their name ‘man size’ tissues to extra large or some such description after having complaints about the ‘man’ part of the name ohhhhhhhh noooooo
Holds head in sheer wonderment and disbelief

I saw some lovely black sheep at a farm last week.
Perhaps they should be dyed purple!

wickedness suffered by the Welsh at the hands of the English
Tillybelle; I think we are going off topic here, or do really want to talk rugby? grin
I've had"Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a ...." stuck in my brain ever since school
playground 85 years ago. I've never found a cure!
Btw. I've always preferred "welched" to "welshed", but I think they mean the same. grin
Also, Dr. Google tells me that Taffy T. MBE, was (is?) a Welsh Laureate for Story Telling. He's 69 and looks like a Druid in mufti.! grin

I have always thought they should be called "Big Tissues." If you stop to think about it, it's "Mansize" that's ridiculous. Are their noses bigger than women's? Especially when full of cold?

While on the PC subject, I passed a sign today for the Knebworth Winter Festival. For goodness sake, why can't we call it Christmas as its always been. Other religious festivals in our country such as Eid and Diwali are allowed to be celebrated so why can't we celebrate our Christmas and Easter? I'm sure most of the ethnic population wouldn't object. It's just these PC councillors who don't want to offend...arghh!
