Thread Name: Baa Baa Black Sheep(new problem)
Subject: RE: Baa Baa Black Sheep(new problem)
North Manchester a Primary School was actually teaching the kids to sing 'Baa, baa green sheep', black was offensive, but green was OK as sheep were deemed to be environmentally friendly.
My pal heard his 4 year old daughter singing it, so when they were out on a drive in the country the next weekend he stopped a a field of sheep and said 'Now there is a black one and quite a lot of white ones, show me the green one and you can have it for a pet!'
As I have said before, you couldn't make it up!
