Just the merest hint of political correctness gone too far can reduce Guru to apoplexy. So just imagine his feelings at the news that Flintshire County Council has renamed an iconic British pudding, rather than upset its astonishingly easily offended staff.
Yes, when it comes to Flintshire Council's staff canteen menu, Spotted Dick is no more. Staff can have Spotted Richard. They can have Sultana Sponge. But they can't have Spotted Dick.
According to the council, staff in Mold (now, isn't that a name that's just begging to be changed?) took the decision following "immature comments", although a spokesman hastened to point out that this was not a policy decision.
Councillor Klaus Armstrong-Braun, an oddly named yet evidently sane and honourable man, was quick to criticise the council, referring to the decision as ludicrous. He also accused the management involved of being "frightened of their own shadow." Well said. Buy that man a cake, says Guru.
