I really hate B.C.E and C.E instead of B.C and A.D. Let?s just sort out our uncomfortable perceptions of the past with stupid euphemisms. Why not burn the history books while you?re at it.


It makes about as much sense as:

Most of the days of the week are named after old Germanic gods. Today is Thor?s day. Thor is the thunder god of a historically dominant culture and is not fully representative of our current society so any further use of Thursday is clearly discriminatory and must cease this instant.

Reminds me of a paper written by someone from somewhere that I heard about somehow, entitled:


Consequences of Erudite Vernacular Utilized Irrespective of Necessity

Not sure if it really qualifies as a euphemism, or if it's just cliche mixed with ellipsis, but "end of" used on its really gets my goat - as in "He's sacked. End of." I don't mind if people say "end of story" which I am guess was the origin of the phrase, but "end of" along? No. Please.


On the positive side, a mate used to have an entry on his CV for a period as a "Client Relocation Manager" - bouncer, to you and me.

    • Was chatting to my mates including Robert Jenrick in the Crompton Arms in Handsworth and this was an obvious one   Robert come and have a chat, I once lived in Handsworth, you twit The track has improved further with age
    • The difficulty with all the national shame is that you are handing the world to the right wing populist parties ("The flag, love it or leave it").  You can look at many if not most of Europe for the damage their colonial conquests did to much of the world. For Britain we could equally look at partition and the impact on the Indian subcontinent, 10 million plus death and the bonkers situation with India and Pakistan now.  Spain and Portugal went much further in wiping out much of the population of South America.  i understand that Stalin was less.  We all know about the Third Reich, even then perhaps the allies could have done more. I am not questioning what you say, but sadly most are only concerned about the present and don't care about sins of the past. And back to my earlier comment that some will point out other 'conflicts' attracting much less interest. Not a reason not to march tomorrow

    • I'm interested to know why you say that? They both sell the same kind of thing, they both have own brand products, and unless I've got it completely wrong, they both seem to be trying to attract the same kind of customer? I would have thought a Waitrose and an M&S so close to each other would have split the customer base (?not sure of the correct term) for both of them? People might shop in both, but I'd have thought each store would still lose out on sales?
