Thread Name: BS: Spotted Dick
Subject: RE: BS: Spotted Dick
I went out to dinner in a pub near me, they do a great Sunday lunch, anyway on the sweet menu was spotted Richard!! I asked what it was and was told it was spotted dick, this was said in a very a quite voice by the young girl, who by the way couldnt stop laughing)

Apparently it is offensive to call it spotted dick now and Tescos have renamed it ( this is just another bit of our world going mad.

I ordered spotted dick in a rather loud voice. It doesnt quite have the same ring about it asking for spotted Richard ;o))
