ir, In his letter (March 7), Roscoe Howells very amusingly satirises the politically correct world in which we all find ourselves living at the minute. Indeed, a chairman of a meeting should be quite offended to be called a chair, as this would indicate that they could easily be sat on! In the same vein, we have heard tales of 'manholes' being re-named 'access holes,'ploughman's lunches' being changed to the more 'gender neutral' title 'ploughperson's lunches' and 'blackboards' being re-named 'chalkboards.' This begs the question, whatever next? The 'The Tenby Non-Observer' in case the term 'Observer' offends those who can't see?
