Title: Causing more offence
Post by: BazaJT on 14 August 2017, 08:01:46
I see we are now having to re-name cats eyes as road studs as tourists etc seem to believe we're either bumping cats off by the thousands and planting their eyes in the road or burying the whole cat with just its eyes showing :o So the name change in order not to give offence to anyone.

I very much doubt that anyone has really thought that, or been "offended" by their name. Probably some uber pc "diversity" pen pusher in an office somewhere thought it up to keep him/her self in a job.

If you are serious (not April 1st, is it?), then the inmates really have taken over the asylum!
I would have thought, only in America..... :o

I actually saw a "No Road Studs" sign the other day and thought "When did we stop saying cat's eyes?"

The 'Cats eyes removed' sign should have 'but at least we don't eat dogs' added to it.
