I heard someone say at the weekend “how would people in East London know when the Olympics have started, they are used to people in tracksuits wandering around who can’t speak English.”

Why not just ban the use of english altogether and use grunting noises? It's obviously too difficult for our education system to handle.
Those people with their over-inflated pensions must be the thickest in the UK.

In instructions to staff, the council said: "Not everyone knows Latin. Many readers do not have English as their first language so using Latin can be particularly difficult."

They do f-all and yet have an "over-inflated pension" to look forward to.

There was a good article on this in Sunday's Observer.

Someone was quoted as saying that people only use these Latin phrases to boost their own ego.

I just loved the use of the Latin word "ego" in the attack on Latin words!

Exactly, where do they draw the line, why not ban words of Greek, French, German or Arab origins too?
