Me to. Even get my mini Le Creuset grill pan warming nicely on the server blowing the aroma of my freshly cooked lardons around the place...

You don't wave the choccies and nibbles around the office during Ramadan or Lent, do you?

Errrr....IGMC

Spot on! It was the same with the Nat West Pigs piggy banks in Birmingham, it was the PC brigade that complained, not the muslims.

This is one of my bugbears I'm afraid. I object to people getting paid good money to lecture us on what should be basic good manners and common sense. You don't wave the choccies and nibbles around the office during Ramadan or Lent, do you? Maybe I'm being a bit naive here but I'd like to think we've all moved on a bit over the last 30 odd years.

It won't be the local muslims/jews/sikhs/hindus who are complaining - it will be various diversity awareness officers whose jobs depend on someone, somewhere and at sometime, taking offence.

Did the local muslims complain about this being called Xmasfest, or similar, hence the name Winterfest?

Glad to say that Sussex area is less prone to pointless political correctness than many parts. You can even buy a great range of gollywog gifts at the Battle Museum shop.

Down here you can even say the word "black" without fear of sharp intakes.

I wonder if anyone would complain if the council called Ramadan dietfest.
