My daughter and I went to a farm shop where she bought some cartons of Tomato soup, on the label there was a warning saying this product may contain Tomatoes !

We used to make up outrageously bad ones when we played bingo in the care home I worked in.
Most un-pc.

2 plus sized ladies? seems to be acceptable still in clothes adverts.
Don’t see what’s wrong with Legs 11 though, maybe it’s just the whistling that’s frowned upon now.

I think I wrote that on the wrong thread!

I asked my husband what was wrong with Legs 11 and he said it depended what you were doing with your legs 😳

Thanks for the other suggestions. Keep them coming.

Oopsadaisy1 Sat 07-Dec-24 12:54:06

Easy

2 nicely rounded people

Why can’t you still say legs eleven?

I bought a silver windscreen cover for the snowy weather.... The package said "Warning. Remove before driving vehicle." grin

88, don’t be late. 😁

As it is seasonal you could say 11 Pipers Piping !

Still thinking on the 88 !

A packet of butter had on it “ contains milk” Really.?

We are living in a mad world, where even Pantomimes have warnings of possible offensive content. 😳

I have agreed to be the Bingo caller at our next WI meeting and have been warned that I need to change some of the names against the numbers, which could be offensive. What a load of politically correct rubbish.

What can I use for no. 11 or 88?

1+1 = 2, but not just now, or an hour before midnight?

88? 90 - 2 =n?

The best warning ever on a TV film:
"Jesus Christ Superstar; film based on the hit stage musical that reimagines the last days of Jesus Christ. Contains some violent scenes".. (You don't say..!!)

That reminds of a discussion with my mother years ago about food with hidden peanuts or peanut oil (when the allergies were first coming to the fore) and her saying "Yes, like peanut butter" - bit of a clue in the name there mother!

Everyone is afraid of being sued these days and there are so many permanently offended people.

knspol Fri 06-Dec-24 13:41:55

I bought a bag of mixed nuts in their shells today - nobody warned me the shells might contain nuts!

Granmarderby10 Fri 06-Dec-24 13:04:25

surfingsal at first I had thought your post might be regarding the recent report on tomato products eg purée which may not be produced in the country stated such as Italy but from China under forced labour conditions. very b-a-a-a-a-d!
Does anyone tell the truth these days?

Annma Fri 06-Dec-24 12:54:52

It’s a crazy world out there!

Buying £5 reader glasses from Asda supermarket Had to be security checked as the glasses can cause damage to children’s eyes!!

Did the pantomime promotion info warn of scenes of mild peril? Like the Paddington film😅

HA HA HA!

Things have gone too far. Everyone is offended about something. What happened to good old British humour! I honestly don't know how comedians can operate these days without fear of offending someone.

And we all know ‘the law is an ass’!

and there's a sign above the entrance to the Houses of Parliament - "May contain nuts"
