How this song is sooooo true;)

They changed our local Palais into a bowling alley and

Fings ain't what they used to be

There's Teds in drainpipe trousers and Debs in coffee houses and

Fings ain't what they used to be

There used to be Trams not very quick

Gotcha from place to place

But now there's just jams half a mile thick

I'm walking

They stuck parking meters outside our doors to greet us

Fings ain't what they used to be

Corr monkeys flying round the moon

We'll be up there with em soon

Fings ain't what they used to be

Once our beer was frothy but now its frothy coffee well

Fings ain't what they used to be (chorus)

It used to be fun Dad an old Mum paddling down old Southend

But now it ain't done

Never mind chum

Paris is now where we spend our outings

Grandma used to try an shock us all

Doing a knees up the Parker Noll

Fings ain't what they used to be (chorus)

We used to have stars

Singers who sung

A Dixie melody

There buying Guitars plinkty plonk

Backing their selves with three chords only

Ones we'd dance from 12 to 3

I've got news for Elvis P

Fings ain't what they used taa

There's a lot we used taa

Fings ain't what they used taa beeeee

Funny enough, When my mum and I go into Chester City shopping we always have dinner at Mouls a go go.

Moules a go go

You were always shown to to your table and after ordering they would bring warm bread with balsamic dip and olive oil dip.

Went there the other month and now they call it a pre starters to share ¦.

Call it PC but i agree. In this day and age, it is insulting to many people battling with alcoholism. It makes alcoholics seem amusing.

What will we do next.... laugh at 'Spastics'.

Some times PC is deserved.

Spastics is an appalling word to use Oscar, Disabled is the word thats used this day and age PC or not.

You misunderstood why i used the word. It was to highlight that we have indeed banished such words due to the fact they cause the disabled distress.

That was my whole point..... To refer to some-one battling with alcohol addiction as a 'drunk' is as offensive as refering to the disabled as 'spastics.'

I dont think the song drunken sailor is referring to someone battling alchohol addiction... really its just a song about a sailor who got drunk... i have been known to get drunk on occasions throughout my adult life.. i am not a battling alchoholic though:yh_rotfl

I also hate the word spastic

to be honest ,, surely battling alchoholics are'nt really offended by that song???:-2

I know!! how about what shall we do with the merry sailor? or what shall we do with the slightly tiddly sailor?:yh_rotfl

I agree with you in essence but under PC law, you can not have one rule for one and another for some-one else.

Even if only one person is offended, under our laws they have a right to lobby to have it removed. yes, it get's very silly but i can see the basis of it.

Spastic is a derogatory term that was changed a long time ago. Most people only use that word in an insulting way these days.



Im not saying you did in your post if you indeed did it for "effect" to show why we cant sing about drunken sailors anymore.

A drunken sailor doesn't have to be an alcoholic, same as nelly the elephant prolly didn't join a circus and Here comes the bride wasnt ten inches wide.

Drunken Sailor is a famous traditional sea shanty which should be left well alone, along with Baa Baa black sheep..

Peter and the Wolf. As a child I loved this piece, including the finale: the hunters cut open the wolf and the duck jumps out of his belly, alive and well. But in this new version the wolf is caught by the hunters and brought to the zoo. The end. You can hear the duck cry out from within its belly! I guess fairness to fairy tale animals applies only to wolves, not ducks.

Baa baa, black sheep was discriminatory and revised it to Baa baa, rainbow sheep. It turns out that this is standard practice: teachers eliminate the seven dwarves from Snow White, keep the cradles safely perched up in the tree, and protect Humpty Dumpty from breaking.

Its madness:rolleyes::rolleyes:

I am over the PC garbage we survived with all the songs,names etc.

Time for people to get a grip & get on with life.

Have a laugh,to much PC going on.

I do take exception to anyone calling special needs people ,spastics though.

I know that is not what you meant oscar but I get a bit irate over that word.
