Was that so they didn't upset ze 'box heads'? No, it was allegedly because those words upset some wimmin.
So we told them that a word they frequently used was causing offence to our young ladies. Being Spams, they didn't realise that this was, of course, a UK wind-up. "Very sorry, what word is it that you don't want us to use?"....
