    Default Man is domed

    In its infinite wisdom the EU Parliament is considering banning words containing man.

    Mankind would be replaced by Humanity ( still got man in it)
    Manmade -Artificial
    Anpower - staff
    Statesman - Political Leader
    Stewardess - Flight attendant
    Headmaster - Rincipal
    Fireman - Firefighter
    Chairman- Chairperson
    Spokesman - Spokesperson

    Nodoubt there will be many more, and to think these people are on enormous salaries,mind boggles

    Keith, wasn't getting at firefighters, the last sentence was a dig at the people that think up all these barmy ideas.

    As a thoroughly modern man who has even used a vacuum cleaner I was very sorry to read the following ;

    Every six minutes on our roads a women is injured in a road traffic accident.

    And she is getting f...ing fed up with it.

    I noticed that the Volcano twixt Java and Sumatra was always called ,"Son Of Krakatoa" I used to see it when I was in the Spice Islands.
    on BBC the other day it was called, "Child " Of Krakatoa. "
    Not the same , is it.
