Another Case of Political Correctness
Word reaches me about an out of force trainer who attended another force to give instruction on PNC (Police National Computer).
Apparently, during the tea-break one of the officers on the course asked for a ‘black coffee’ which drew the attention of the trainer saying he was offended by the use of the word ‘black’ and said it should be referred to as “coffee without milk”.
What isn’t on record is the trainer’s reaction if they’d have been told to stuff that one up their arse, honestly, some people!
