"Dick" Turpin

[Martin L Batley]

Apparently according to the Yorkshire Post, the York Dungeon attraction has been receiving complaints over the use of the name Dick Turpin. They're insisting that they change the name to Richard Turpin as Dick is too rude. York Dungeon are sticking to their guns and refusing to rename the tour. Good for them I say, I mean he's only been called that for a measly 300 years.

So presumably these self righteous eejits will want everyone to stop using "Dick" as the shortened (pun intended) version of Richard.

What about Johnny..? That used to be slang for a condom.

And I assume Arsene Wenger is in trouble too.

I expect they'll want words like ballboy, petcock, pussy, blue tit, grease nipple, arsenal and bumblebee to be banned too...

A local guy looking for work advertised on a facebook page “man in a van” the page was inundated not with offers of work but objections to the use of the word “man” eventually Facebook Nazis stepped in & removed the post as some simple minded people found it offensive

Can the language be toned down a bit please as I really don’t want to start using the moderator tools.

Sorry, I should have said ‘instruments’.

No offence intended.

Well, Jaws won't be at all happy when he gets back, as it goes without saying that "Norfolk" will definite get the terminally stupid all frothy at the mouth.
