I read a circular at work today from one of our unions. It stated that as from 2006 it would no longer be acceptable to refer to people as 'Old George' or 'Young Susan.'

It seems to be P.C. gone daft yet again. It warned managers that they would no longer be able to advertise for - 'young, vibrant people wanted,' and that the Commission for age equality would be coming down like a ton of bricks on anyone who did so.

So I reckon that with the advent of this nonsense from the P.C. brigade they will be coming down like a ton of bricks on Accyweb............ Unless, of course........
