    Just sat down to read my granddaughter a nursery rhyme.

    Fee-fi-fo-fum,
    I smell the blood of an Earthlyman,
    Be he live, or be he dead
    I'll grind his bones to make my bread

    Political correctness ****....

    in the words of my son..DOES ME ED IN

    In mine it says

    Fi-Fo-Fum
    My Girlfriend Jane takes it up the bum
    When she has a few or not so many
    she prefers it there than in her fanny

    Isn't this just so that it makes sense to more people? A little welsh boy having the story read out to him for example wontbe scared at all if the giant is smelling an englishman's blood because its not him.

    I don't think it's anything to do with political correctness, more an attempt to sell more copies without having to change it for different regions.

    Little Welsh boys didn't find this an issue back in 1957.

    I didn't say that anybody found it an issue, I said that the publisher probably thought they could make more money by generalising a little bit.

    People claim that things are 'political correctness gone mad' when in actual fact the story is either completely made up or nothing to do with political correctness.

    Of course the publisher may have changed the line in case somebody from france read the nursery rhyme and got offended that jack is English but I very, very much doubt that.
