Lufthansa as well as the group's Swiss, Austrian, Brussels and Eurowings airlines will no longer use the terms "ladies and gentlemen" because it offends non-binary people. FFS! Perhaps Lufthansa will also stick hair under the aircraft wings.

I do think it's a shame though as I do like the term 'Ladies and Gents' and I do like being called sir when being dealt with. Something I'm sure will disappear in the not too distant future as well. Probably a personal thing I've been brought up with so guess there is no issues with it being phased out, just irks me I can't be dealt with in a way I'm used to and that I like but that's just modern times I guess.

In fact screw it. Forget everything I've said. I'm ****ing outraged my right to be addressed politely and formally, not only as a customer, but also as I'd like to be addressed is being trumped by the rights of a tiny minority who wants their way or no way. Wokeism at it's worst.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

(It wasn't long ago they discovered that is how bumble bees can fly, despite the theory saying it should be impossible!)
I'm guessing you were referring to wing pit hair though, which I don't think has any technical advantagesWork in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment
