Yet more PC nonsense

[INFLUENCED.COM]

On BBC website:

 

Calling older patients "dearie" or "love" is set to be ruled out as offensive by new guidelines from the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

 

Nurses should speak "courteously and respectfully" and use patients' preferred names, the NMC recommends.

 

But terms of endearment can be used in some areas if they are part of everyday speech - it may appear unusual if they are omitted, the draft guidance says.

 

 

Would like to see girls calling other girls "babe" banned or punished by a poke in the whiskers

Cue Robsk blowing up

See how the rabble-rousing mania of the first highlighted phrase is undermined by the following two? Nothing has been banned; politeness and thoughtful courtesy have been recommended.

I agree with S13 on the girls calling each other "mate". I hate that sh1t loads.

 

I really can't see the problem with calling someone "love" or "dearie" though. It is taking the human touch away if you ask me. I never get offended when an old person (can we call them that?) calls me lad or young man.

old person (can we call them that?)

 

I like 'aged one'.

Belligerent old buggers are more than happy to tell you if you're doing something they don't like anyway.

[Scummer]

Girls should also not call other girls "mate"

 

Chavy as f**k

 

What about men who call girls mate?

[Master Bates]

Anyone noticed how 'stand up if you love the saints' isn't sung anymore incase people in wheelchairs get offended.

That's because the disabled area has been removed

 

Rightly so, the lazy buggers should climb steps like everyone else

Kaboom

 

This whole PC gone mad sh*t is so boring, by the way. It's nothing to do with PC again. it's just politeness and professionalism. Maybe having guidelines etc is a bit ott, but get some perspective. It's not exactly a big deal, idiots.

'Pet' is good.
