Spotted Dick

[yerself]

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.

 

[cashman]

no definately not.......... just thought ya had got a dose.

 

[accyman]

of all teh things that need sorting out in teh world they came up with the idea of changing the name of a desert

just 1 more good idea like this and they may well accomplish world peace


are the books dick turin going to be renamed in council libarys ?

mind you i hear the recipe for spotted richard is less salty tasting than spotted dick

 

[Northern Monkey]

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

 

[shillelagh]

ooooo everyone should be PC friendly ... otherwise how would they get on here ...

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...

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

 

[mattylad]

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

When I first saw the thread title I thought
'Today I met an Accywebber - Part 2'

I think that should be "Richard cranium."

 

[Restless]

hmm what if was called spotted fanny... would they change it to spotted frances.. sad

 

[West Ender]

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.

 

[Eric]

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. And I thought that revisionist history was a Stalinist thing.
