Is it actually true though? Most of these stories end up being false.

Decades ago security staff at our federal parliament were actually banned from addressing people as 'mate' but the ban only lasted 24hours before it was withdrawn as being totally stupid.

Fake news to sell papers (well some people get a kick out of it)

Anyway, we don't say chairperson anymore we say chairman for the ladies.

So, if there is any truth in the gingerbreadperson story, the anonymous Scottish parliament wum is living in the 20th century.

Re: A Wee bitty more PC nuttiness!

Feels like old news and odd they have banned anything, our local shops have all been making gingerbread people for years, little men, women and children. You chose which one you want. They didn't make a big fuss and ban anything just introduced the ladies about 10 years ago and the children came along over the intervening years. They tried making dogs one year but haven't seen them since baker in sainsburys joked it was run over and that's why no more but that upset a few mums. oddly the kids thought it was funny.

Obviously the real problem is being labelled 'Ginger' - I still remember my rhyming slang.

Perhaps that is why ginger headed people are called 'Blue' or 'Ranga' no matter what their gender in this country.
