Feeling dirty?

Feeling dirty? Have a 'thought shower'.

Political correctness can be absurd at the best of times. But recently a council has left me shocked by their stupidity and complete waste of time and money.

The folks at Tunbridge Wells council have actually had a meeting to decide that the term 'brainstorming' might be offensive to those with mental illnesses. There are many quotes online from people who represent mental health charities saying that this is a ridiculous move.

And the outcome? The term brainstorming is out, the term 'thought shower' is in. I am very relieved that Tunbridge Wells has nothing worse to trouble itself with.

As they hadn't yet decided on the new name, I wonder if they had to have an offensive brainstorming to decide to abolish them forever?
