The phrase "Ladies and Gentlemen" has been used for yonks as a simple and non offensive way to address a large group of people.
Sadly it does not pass the test when used in the presence of an attention seeking twat looking to take offence at everything.
Step forward Laurence Coles who took great exception to being classed as either a Lady or Gentleman (during an announcement by the train manager) on a trip by train the other day.
Coles duly tweeted to LNER which, for reasons bets known to itself, not only apologised but asked for details (which Laurence said he was happy to provide).
Thus Coles dropped the train manager in the shit.
A pretty shitty thing to do, especially as it transpires that Coles is a train guard and is the union rep for the RMT!
