    No Dick for you!

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-complain.html


    'Woke' parents demand York Dungeon change name of its Dick Turpin carriage ride to 'Richard' because they find it 'offensive'
    • The York Dungeon has refused to change the name of its new Dick Turpin ride
    • Woke parents said the nickname was offensive and rude
    • Richard 'Dick' Turpin was an infamous criminal who was executed in York in 1739
    • Shocked bosses at the dungeon said: 'We’re here to say that Dick, is here to stay'
    oh dear!

    Probably real reason Cressida Dick was fired.

        Has the pudding been banned yet? Spotted Dick is not only offensively named but quite racist... always white.

            So, are we saying one person, once, possibly, made a comment about the name Dick and the paper on a light news day has created a whole story about it?

            Nothing to see here, move along .....

                  Or, they cunningly got a free ad in the Daily Mail - and everywhere else this is being discussed. And right in the middle of the school holidays. Hands up if you've ever heard of York Dungeon (as a tourist attraction) before today. No, me neither...

                    Went years ago with the kids, really frightened them. I didn't come across any Dicks though!
