It's just a matter of time before the name of a MANdarine is changed, surely?
"Is now" meaning what, exactly? Is it legally mandated? Or is it just one instance that someone randomly found somewhere that has now, at last, condemned us all to a future of political correctness gone mad!?

Stay away from morning TV, folks.

If what happened to me, as an apprentice in the 80's were to happen to a 15 year old kid today. It would be world news.

When I was an apprentice I got held down and stripped and had my cock and balls painted, is that harassment? True story by the way!

What colour paint? :P

It's definitely harassment, bordering on sexual assault, unless of course you were into it. :wink:
