I heard on the News this morning that the term 'spotted dick' - (a steamed suet pudding, commonly served with fruit and custard) is now to be called Spotted Richard! Lol The PC brigade at it again? What is happening to us? |

Lol If it is so wrong to use the names that has been round for years,why is it that we didnt get upset before? Edited by: Peter Evans at:9th September 2009 12:54 |

But of course say that name now and all the younger kids laugh. I wonder how that nickname came about...where is Paul when you need him! Surely he'd know! |
