Spotted Dick
 
Spotted Dick removed from council canteen menu

Pudding renamed Spotted Richard

At least we don't have any members on Accyweb who would resort to getting cheap laughs from a pudding.:rolleyes:

That is ridiculous! What an absurd thing to do. I'm sure no one would complain about the name of a pudding!

No I was right first time Jen, a dick heads a dick head which ever way you look at it, and because I'm not PC either:D:D

I notice that this nonsense occured in Wales, which is only to be expected of that place. It is government policy there that all official literature - which includes canteen menus - are tranlated into the local venacular. The Welsh for Spotted Dick, is I believe, 'Spottio Dickio'. I do not know, however, what the translation of the new name will be. It will, as usual, cost money - which the boyos there won't mind, because it is the English taxpayer who will be forking it out.

Well fancy; what are they going to do when someone goes and asks for a bowl of Richards...:sick:

I bet they won't go back for thirds....:o

I bet they get a lot going in there asking for "SPOTTED DICK PLEASE" loudly, making a point that it is named spotted dick. :D

A website similar to this one has an automatic censor. In a thread about Radio I mentioned Dick Barton Special Agent and it primly substituted **** Barton ...... If I'd mentioned Fanny By Gaslight I think it would have had a nervous breakdown. :D

I remember seeing an episode of The Man Show where they interviewed people with unfotunate names ... I remember Jack Hoff, and Richard "Dick" Hertz. A little wander: anyone know what they are going to call Guy Gibson's black lab in the coming remake of "The Dam Busters"?

We've had a thread about this before, Eric. They want to change historical fact for the sake of political correctness. ;)

I think I remember; but all those years of smoking dope may have damaged my memory.:confused: And I thought that revisionist history was a Stalinist thing.:rolleyes:

Pudding? I thought it was a delicacy made from leopard.


Actually - it occurs to me that in a couple of years time someone else at that council will complain about the new name because it's still sexist.

It seems the jobsworth who thought this up in Wales did so because of smutty remarks when people were ordering their favourite pud, I appears that this irk though such people were childish and showing themselves up, where do they get these people from, there is one thing for sure the whole of Britain knows just what a Dick Head this prat really is, and no doubt he's on a salary which resembles a telephone number:mad:
