In the latest of the "daft things that my delegates say" a discussion around the acceptable and unacceptable terms around Equality and Diversity today led to me asking the question .."is it acceptable to call someone Wheelchair bound"?
"Yes, " someone said and when I pointed out that not all people who are in a wheelchair are in it all the time she said..."Oh yeah...like that Andy from Little Britain?"
"Yes, " I said, "just like him". "That''ll be time for coffee then?"
the true politically correct term would be a wheely nice person!!
