Dear thingy . . .

SOMEONE has taken offence at readers who write to newspapers using the traditional salutation ‘Dear Sir’. If we are to continue this politically correct madness, perhaps we should pressure pop groups to change their sexist names to gender-neutral titles in order to avoid upsetting the zealots.

With this in mind, I suggest: The Spice Persons, Persons Aloud, Person George, The Brotherhood Of Person, Personfred Person and The Walker Siblings. Do you have any anti-sexist suggestions?
