Morris dancers are about the only thing on this planet I actually find offensive. Grown men prancing around in ribbons and flowers with little bells..seriously, WTF. Ban the lot of 'em.

Pretty much this, its the most embarassing thing to be assosiated with being english.... (my flat mate was laughing at me yesterday for this)

Banhammer the idiots.... Or something

In cricket it's no longer 'Man of the Match' but 'Player of the Match' because they are trying to promote women's cricket.... but women's cricket is horrendous

As is all the other sports women are allowed to play apart from beach volleyball and tennis (lets get some sexism in here!!)

They should have been banned. Not because they blackened their faces, but because they are morris dancers.

Don't you love political correctness! :rolleyes:

Morris dancers are cool. I've done Morris dancing before, and it's great fun.

There are several words you could use to describe Morris dancing, 'cool' not being one of them.

You, sir, have obviously never Morris danced. A few hearty rounds of British Grenadiers or Beaux of London might change your mind. There's nothing quite like prancing around in a silly costume with a large stick in your hand.

So to speak.

:cool:

Just done the "el-box" training thing -multiple choice thingy for whitbread jobs, I'm working there as a summer job.

"Saying someone suffers from a mental disabilty could be offensive as it implies the disability makes them less able".

Wtf? Surely that is the dictionary definition of disabled; less able!

Indeed and precisely why I joined the cops.
