One thing that really winds me up is how you are not meant to say certain things because they are not politically correct, such as you shouldn't call a black board a black board because it could offend certain people, you should call it a chalk board instead. This is NUTS!! It is a board that is black, how can that offend people!!!
And yet you can call a white board a white board!! Anyway, purpose of this post..... If the politically correct people get hold of sailing any ideas on what we will have to call the black flag? My first idea is "the not white flag", any others? |

There was a job recruitment advert in a local newspaper requesting hard
working and lively employees. The company was forced
to remove the advert because it discriminated against people who
weren't hard working and lively......
