..and still more re the P.C. stuff. The longer I live the more I question the sanity of some folk who have nothing better to do than come up with stupid suggestions. The latest here is that a school in Sydney has changed Father’s Day and Mother’s Day celebrations to Parents’ and Carers’ Day, while several schools in Melbourne have changed their celebrations from Father’s Day to Special Person’s Day. (It’s Father’s Day here tomorrow). It’s all to do with making everyone ‘feel more comfortable’ irrespective of their family situation.

These moves have been described by people from various bodies as 'loopy' and 'political correctness gone mad' - I could think of stronger words to use.
