How WOKE is moving into sport ie: cricket where bowlers can no longer bowl a ‘chinaman’ & a batsman is now a batter. Batter is something that goes on my haddock at the fish & chip shop. :twisted:

Was reading an article on exactly this topic recently. This 'woke' move is supported by a fairly insignificant body of opinion but unfortunately, have influence in some key areas. I think the best approach is to ignore it and continue to use the traditional terms. These 'wokists' hate nothing more than being ignored.
I once played against Don Revie.

Philip Schofield can’t stand the man, yet he gets so much work he’s on virtually everything.

I’m the same with Rylan Clark-Neal although I have to agree about Schofield ever since he came “ out “ he’s not been off our TV screens. Or the absolute waste of space is Gemma Collins.

Bottled water, why would anyone spent their hard earned on something that’s available from a tap. I appreciate in third world countries bottled water is necessary but in the UK ? Then there’s the water snob who’ll only drink certain brands. Don’t even get me started on sparkling water, what the point it’s like supping Alka Seltzer.
