I hadn't heard that rumour Tealeaf but if it's true it's bonkers. When that street was named Iran was Persia.

This is the sort of barmy PC nonsense that gets people's backs up.

I agree with you Lettie about people who come to this country who should learn the language but the story about schoolchildren wasn't that they should be taught in their own language but that they should be taught in English and if there is something they didn't understand then they could have a conflab about it in their own language just to clarify.
