My sister allows her 11 year old daughter wear make up and skimpy tops. She also waxes her daughters eyebrows, arms and legs!! I must admit I agree with BurlyBear that at 11 girls should be playing footie and generally being kids. I suppose I can be called old fashioned in that respect. I am...

I bought an Easiyo last Tuesday and my stawberry yoghurt turned out great. The probiotic base I tried next did not set. I think I may have shook it too much to mix it. Anyway, I tried it again and it turned out perfect. One thing I did try which I found I liked, I pput in the crunchy museli...

No need to be sorry Pinkearplugs. The point I was trying to make with Mrs Timber was that whatever we say in this day and age we will invariably upset/offend someone. It is only those who are insistent on being PC who are causing problems. It is the PC brigade who highlight and the raise...

I am not comparing JR to making a racist statement her faux pas is much more subtle .. TO give a more QVC relevant example My hero in this is Dale...... ( an old dog learning new tricks example ) Can you not see how easy it is to offend someone Mrs Timber? If we really want to pick out words...

I agree with you OrlandoBelle, being tolerant and respectful along with accepting is indeed a two way thing. :)

Well said MadGrannySue I do not use the N word. I only used it in my previous post because I was trying to put my point across. The word means nothing but part of a rhyme to children. I spelt the word out because that is the title of the rhyme. As for your golliwog they were just toys and...

[/U] This is what I was saying about the innocence of childhood. Children do not realise/understand what is being said to and between each other. The two previous versions can also be considered wrong- poor old tiger, where are the animal rights when you need them, and where I live, a...

Me again, As yoou can see from my location, I live in a multicutural region and I live amongst a population of all nationalities and religions. I have total respect for all people regardless of race, creed or culture. The problems are caused not by the population but by the PC brigade/

Hi Starlight, My post is not intended to offend anyone, I am attempting to highlight the problems of tioday and how people react to innocent rhymes of childhood. I have never called anyone names referring to their colour, culture, religion etc. However, the words we use are only offensive...

This is so true!! If the PC brigade did not exist then the world in my humble opinion would be a better place. My grandson had to sing Baa Baa Wooly sheep so as not to offend anyone. I remember when I was little (I have a good memory!!) saying eeny meeny miney mo catch a ****** by the toe, if...

I think it was in Birmingham about a year ago the powers to be attempted to change Christmas the Winterfest!! :mad::(

I am 49 and do not have crows feet, my lines are more like spiders legs!!! The only consolation is I do not have to look at my face very often. I am hoping to get a job at Polyfiller as a tester!!!! :D

Pretty Woman's Julia Roberts. Then she can say when presenting Clogau Gold "This is Julian Roberts and I am THE Julia Roberts. Have you noticed when Julia is on with Julian she always says this is Julian and I am Julia. ;):D

Do tell Dingledangle. ;) Your secrets safe with us. :D

Thanks Crinklecut and Jantaculum. I learn something new every day!! Looks like I'll have to get the sat nav out when the kids have gone back to school. No chance of trying to get there with my grandson with us for the holidays, if you can't kick it, jump on it, or fight it he doesn't want to...

Hello Piecan, Where is the Kipling outlet shop please? I did not know they had one. :)

At least you will see it coming!! ;)

Hi Jude, You could be right-never thought of that. also by using the above, as it stretches a little goes a long way. xx

Ok Jools, I will leave you something nice.
