Snowflake alert...
This is just getting really silly now...
They have been midget gems for years FFS.

Next someone will complain that Firestorm is offensive because of those killed in bombing raids...
Obviously Honda didnt worry about it despite Tokyo being scorched...
Worst thing is I'd have to rename Dresden & Hamburg...

Re: Snowflake alert...
As long as people are scared of ‘hurty’ words we’ll continue along the same road. It’s why being with mates, colleagues or even the muppets on here
and generally having a laugh and taking the piss is so important. Like minded individuals who give as good as they get, and not in the way Pete L is thinking

Re: Snowflake alert...
its getting dangerous to open your mouth and talk these days.
The generation gap today is not defined by music or fashion, its WOKE we dont understand! I consider myself very inclusive and non judgmental, but I have to be careful and stay away from some topics when talking with my kids, as I dont know what the correct (acceptable) new term is for something, or what has now become off limits!!
so now I best to buy them any sweets!
even Elvis Costello has distanced himself from his own song, Olivers Army. he is of irish decent, and the words he used were what his grand parents were called as a derogatory name when they first arrived in the UK. but people hear the N word and start making the wrong assumptions.

Re: Snowflake alert...
I have never really associated short folk with the term 'midget' Dwarfism is a well known condition and dwarf is what springs to mind for me with particularly short folk although that also makes me think of Gimli from Lord of the Rings plus several other short overly hairy characters from various video games.. wonder if she will complain about them too..
As for M&S rebranding.. Think i'd of simply chucked the sweets on the top shelf where they couldn't see them then everyone would be happy

From what I can gather it's the schools we have to thank for this, and it appears it's been going for the last 15 to 20yrs or more

Re: Snowflake alert...
There's no "F" in "winner"....
And that's the problem.
No competition, we reward mediocre and average, so where's the incentive to excel?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Re: Snowflake alert...



Hmph!
May I just say how disappointed I am with all of you!
I opened this post expecting a weather report and instead it's about a bunch of grumpy old men complaining because they can't keep up with the modern vernacular!
And Kev...Stop, you can't always come out on top!!
By the way...can't use the term "Snowflake" any more

My new ride is a bit of a Howler and I love to make her Squeal
