My wife stayed in a lodging house in Swansea but was asked to move out for the Panto season as a group of dwarves always booked the place and they did not want full size people living with them...............my wife was pleased to move out as she has been frightened of dwarves since going to the circus as a child

I'm obviously on my own here but if some members of the Restricted Growth Organisation are offended by the word - as opposed to the legendary PC brigade deciding they ought to be offended - does it matter that we learn to use another word? Isn't it just being nicer?

I wonder how many grandparents are perpetuating the dreadfully politically incorrect stories and rhymes of our own childhood? Where does it end? Deanna X

Isn't it time we all said phoooooooooo! to you (I mean to the P.C. Gods that be) and get on with our lives and call a dog a dog, a man a man etc etc . And if anyone wants to know I made some ginger men to-day and yes they were lovely. Oh! I'm also going to make Black Bun (a Scottish Christmas cake) very shortly. Norahx

Although I suppose we ought to call it 'Parents, Nanny's, Carers, grandparents and toddlers.' But I still call it mothers and toddlers. D

We can't call our group 'Mothers and Toddlers': It has to be 'Parents and Toddlers.' D

Good question, Norah. I've lost my sense of humour now, thanks to those boring buffs (and that's me being polite). :-(

Whether it offends the restricted growth association or whatever, I'm still calling it Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, with no apology whatsoever. If anybody's offended by this - tough! Whatever next, for goodness' sake.
