Jeez never heard the like ……. No wonder I’m in trouble always for summat to other … And yeah my English literature! Afore Manthinker, jumps in, fireman Sam heh!

It’s a children’s character for heavens sake! Have these people got nothing better to do than pander to those that may be “offended” by such. This is political correctness gone crazy, If people are going to be offended then they really ought to seek help, never heard of anything so damn stupid in all my life.
Strikes me that no matter what you do someone is going to say that they are offended, more than likely just to draw attention to themselves because they live small insignificant meaningless lives and it gives them a valid reason to exist,
What are we becoming?

Oh and before I forget!
What about Noddy, Big Ears, Rupert the Bear, Muffin the Mule, The Wooden Tops, Roy of the Rovers, all the characters from the Dandy and Beano, The Flower Pot Men, Punch and Judy, the list is endless. Characters from my childhood are we going to make them all politically correct just to appease those of a more sensitive disposition????
