AndrewOW Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Klaus Armstrong-Braun, a county councillor, said: "I couldn't believe it, it seemed ludicrous. Spotted Dick is part of our heritage. It just seemed political correctness gone mad. It takes a foreigner to defend the traditions of our 'fine' nation too! I don't like it much either, but that's not the point!

AndrewOW Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Get out of my dick thread with your balls talk! You obviously haven't realised the full power that you possess as a mod, do you? You can trim, prune, amend, adjust and just delete whatever you like, or so I've read. And then not read, on numerous occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRalphMan Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 This Spotted Richard story has been threatening for a while, didn't think anyone would be small enough to think this is a good idea. Who the F' is this going to offend? Some comments from a small number of customers seems to be the reason, don't serve the knobs or have a sense of humour. We need to keep the old British names and heritage.. Like good old fashion Sheep Shagging, I mean who's that going to offend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Not only am I outraged over the name change, it's also made me hungry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benyon Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 There is a small area near me called Nob End, with an Inn called "Nob Inn". Im surprised they haven't name changed that yet. Spotting Dick has been around for hundreds of years how and why they would change the name because a few people joke about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 There's a pub up in Manchester somewhere, maybe Didsbury, I can't quite remember called "ye olde cock inn". I would google it to find out where it is but I don't think I will whilst at work.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprasurrey Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 So what do we call this old English favourite now? Infected male reproductive organ? What`s next on the hit list, Yule log, Fudge brownie, where will this end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I had spotted dick once but some antifungal cream from my pharmacist sorted it within a few weeks.

Ewen Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I thought I'd spotted Dick once, but he turned out to be Al. Or was it Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 There's a pub up in Manchester somewhere, maybe Didsbury, I can't quite remember called "ye olde cock inn". I would google it to find out where it is but I don't think I will whilst at work.... I lived about 4 miles away and spent many a night boosting the landlords profits in there until it became very studenty and a Beefeater or something equally horrible. Maybe I just became too old, your call Locally just called the Olde Cock, probably why I was happy in there actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 There is one round here called The Spread Eagle. I laugh every time I go past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
