Trading standards have lost the plot and the PC brigade are winning!

On a recent visit to Swanage in Dorset I visited a bakery for a coffee and cake and noticed that the owner had labelled the “Gingerbread Men” as “Gingerbread Persons”.
I asked the owner why he had named them this way and told me that the Trading Standards had told him he was not allowed to name them “Gingerbread Men”! What is this country coming to and shame on the people at the trading standards – They have gone one step too far in my opinion and this just shows how crazy things have got. This country wastes so much time and money on such petty things as this, rather than getting it right with the finances and letting the banking industry going into melt-down – shame on the Government too for allowing this charade to happen.
Gingerbread men will always be Gingerbread men because that is how they were first created and I urge bakers to revert to the traditions of the UK. Stand up against the time-wasting PC brigade! Businesses have much more important issues to deal with than having to comply with crazy politically correct rules set by people that have absolutely no idea and nothing else better to do!

What is this world coming too, also as bad is the council who refused to have ‘spotted dick’ on the menu and were changing it to ‘spotted richard’ but have since heard they have seen sense!

I don’t think there will be significant difference between these two terms.

Living in Swanage I know exactly what you are talking about, but you are dealing with small town minds with power that goes to their heads, in teh scale of things they will make a point about it stick there heels in whether they are right or wrong!
