Morris Minor Owners Club

So now they are called Mini Gems, does that mean we can't call an MG Midget a midget and have to call it an MG Mini?

'Oh' you sweet talker.

No more Midget Gems?

Rebranding must have wasted millions....better spent on donating to wildlife charities....

Must admit, for the last 50 odd yrs, the term "Midget" has distressed me!

What's this crazy world coming to?

<Sorry for the duplicate post, since removed.>

be smarties next because it indicates that the rest of the sweets on the shelf are stupid or uneducated.Time somebody stopped this madness.oh sh....t Am I biased towards sane people be a knock on the door by the thought police tomorrow

I feel sorry for the “woke” people out there that are so fragile they are offended by things like the name on a bag of sweets.

At least in a world where a person born male can win a female weightlifting competition they can claim to have made the world a fairer place

…right, away goes my soapbox. I’m off to the garage with the grease gun.

Oh dear, Ginger Snaps will be banished next for offending those with ginger hair - and we better not mention Blackjacks!

... or Robertsons Jam Golly...

Does this mean I should the return the packet I bought last week, demanding a refund and apology? Is it the done thing to be offended on behalf of someone else? I was always under the impression that the offensiveness of a word, was directly related to the context it was used in
Looks like Ginger Snaps, Blackjacks and Minstrels are on their way out then!

I can't imagine the owners of the MG and Mini brands allowing that. MG Miniature it is then! Well, at least until someone is offended by the word 'miniature' of course. Who's going to tell their owners club the bad news?

One wonder's whether the starving children in Yemen are celebrating the word "Midget" has now been replaced?

"I may only have 17 grains of rice to last me a month, but at least I no longer need to write letter's of complaint to M & S again!!"

MADNESS!!!

Apparently for people who need to lose a few pounds, it’s suggested they ‘Re - set’ their weight.

Well frankly I am most upset by the fact My car is called a Minor.
Which suggests it is somehow smaller or inferior to other cars.
So, what should we call it ?
Perhaps Morris maginificar, or the Morris Master, ideas on a postcard please.

Almost as daft as these food items with "serving suggestion" printed on the front.....

Pour Corn Flakes into a bowl BEFORE dousing with milk? Fancy THAT!!

Easier to judge the amount of milk you use if you put the milk in first though

On my 10th 4 pinter when I realised a bowl better than a plate...

Have you tried cornflakes and milk in a pint glass, Chris ?—— experiment with the proportions.

Didn't want as much as a pt.

Surprised no-one has commented about Travellers being an oppressed minority...

oppressed minority...

No pun intended, eh.....
Best wishes,
