Title: Women only carriages? How about women only trains! Post by: Adelante_CCT on August 07, 2018, 18:52:23 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/crosscountry-commuters-outraged-only-fit-13043146
Quote CrossCountry commuters outraged as 'only fit birds on this train' message flashes across screens above carriage doors Title: Re: Women only carriages? How about women only trains! Post by: chuffed on August 07, 2018, 19:19:14 I cannot help thinking that if the message had said 'only fit blokes' there would have been a lot of shrugged shoulders and 'whatevers'. All this idiotic PC and faux outrage is killing the British sense of humour.

I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am.

Post by: JayMac on August 07, 2018, 19:40:39 I cannot help thinking that if the message had said 'only fit blokes' there would have been a lot of shrugged shoulders and 'whatevers'. All this idiotic PC correctness and faux outrage is killing the British sense of humour. The message was a shining example of British humour was it? Highlighting sexism is not 'PC correctness' (Political Correctness correctness???) A silly, unfunny, immature sexist stunt by someone most likely not authorised to access the on board passenger display system. For which, ultimately, CrossCountry are to blame.
