What about this for unbelievable stupidity then -

Town Hall bods in a South London council have banned their staff from asking anhyone for their 'Christian' name.    They feel some people might be offended by the term 'Christian.'

Staff have now got to ask for someone's  'Forename',  or  'First name'.

A  13 page language booklet has been devised to advise staff.   

They must also not call young people 'Youngsters,'  not over 65's 'Pensioners  as these terms are considered ageist.  

What kind of 'England'   are we creating for the future?

I'm offended that they don't ask me for id when I buy glue or booze.

Is this language booklet available in a wide range of languages?

It's probably one page of English, and the other twelve of different languages. :smiley:

What about Maiden Name.. !!!
 If I am not married does it mean that I am  a maiden..? Even as a pensioner.. !!
And Maiden Aunt... That implies that one has never had a man..
Also Maiden Over when talking about cricket... How rude...

So long ago.. when I was a maiden..  Maiden meaning to me is a young girl..
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..
