Do we have a concensus on this, or is it just another case of politically correct madness being exercised by someone who should perhaps know better?

I find it quite strange how an adult knows how a child thinks,Maybe I could put the imbecile right or at least point her in the right direction.

I remember as if it were yesterday being in Accrington police station at the age of 5.

On the left as you entered the building there was a big red Fireman's Axe and I was told my head was to be chopped off.I was taken down to the cells but let off.

May just work again,sure did for me
