The phrase 'ladies and gentlemen' is being scrapped from tannoy announcements on London Underground.
Tube bosses want to make the service more gender-neutral and have
told staff to use phrases such as "good morning everyone" instead.
Please can someone tell me why the phrase "ladies and gentlemen" is so offensive, when it is clearly being used in a polite manner?
I really don't understand this, am I so old and out of touch?

ReplyDeleteNo, TfL is out of touch with science in general and Biology in particular. They forget, regardless of surgical interventions, there are still only two sexes. (spelling error).
ReplyDeleteAll teenagers are attention seeking, snot gobbling scrotes, but in the past, they have been able to rebel against their parents by joining well defined groups.

More recently has been the upsurge in the homosexuals, or gays as they like to be called.
Idiotic modern parents now take pride in their children ‘coming out’, which to me is just a passport for the daft child to spend their time acting as if they were in a Carry-On film.
The danger with ‘coming out’ and declaring to anyone that will listen that you bat for the opposition is that it is very hard to ‘come in’ again. I don’t even think there is a term for someone who has decided that they are not homosexual after all, and now want to re-join mainstream society.
There is now a proliferation of ‘gender neutral’ half-wits. Those who have not decided if they are in fact male or female.
You would think that a quick glance down inside your underwear would clear any confusion but no, these are fucktards that have the problem that they may have been born into the wrong bodies.
Hence the attempt to remove the time honoured ‘Ladies and Gentleman’ from everyday language.
I am glad that I could clear that up for you Ken.
Sorry, you've all missed the point of this 'announcement' - remember when you went to the doctors you were a 'patient' now you are a 'customer'. When dealing with government departments you are a 'customer' too! I AM NOT A CUSTOMER OF THE STATE I AM A CITIZEN - CALL ME BY MY NAME OTHERWISE DON'T BOTHER
