[Dick Head]

I should have guessed ! What’s the next change for the woke brigade ! It’s all a bit childish .

It doesn't matter. Don't sweat the small stuff!

Wimpy’s Bender special sausage is surely on borrowed time?

Thank goodness that I am still able to suck a Black Jack.

The MG Mini?!

I'm outraged!!!!

Changing the name of something to be considerate to others really upsets me.

I just learnt of QI that the mini skirt was named after the car not the fact that it was small.

Lucky Mary Quant didn't drive an little MG.

Is that the Black Rabbit at Arundel?

Seems very weird. It's been kicked off by a disability campaigner who has dwarfism and normally I'd say if you don't suffer the abuse then you should shut your mouth but I'm a person of very small stature that has received abuse for it. However I don't think I've been called a midget to my face for many, many years. It's quite a retro word like spaz or mong.

I’ve got no idea, as I just pinched it from Google

Next up is Manchester to become Personchester with the names of the football teams to follow suit.

I tied an elastic band around mine to stop her from splitting.

I thought that was for hamsters.

So what's a Goblin?

There's currently a petition by the Eskimos to rename Ice Gems as it has been proven that they don’t in fact contact ice, snow or any frozen water

They are camping on the basis of it being racist and goes against their Inuit religion and beliefs.

Asda are currently in the process of rebranding them as 'modified sugar containing E numbers and colouring on a mini biscuit'. Apparently gives a truer representation of the product.

Something lost in translation maybe.

Maybe they'll be happier when they try my new seafood flavours, pickled herring, anchiovy and ice-aged sturgeon testicles.

I don't get why people who are 'offended' by this change – instigated by people who ARE offended by the actual name – are complaining about it. What difference does it make what a confectionary line is called, FFS?

In the grand scheme of things it's nothing. But to the people affected it IS a big thing. So change it and the problem is reduced

I'm expecting a lot of luddites to still call it the old name anyway, just because they want to be 'edgy' or because it's their 'right', but then probably complain afterwards that 'you can't say anything anymore'.
