I don't think that's Derek's point, Mike. I think he's saying that although the intention to offend may not be present, offence may still be incurred.

So it's a question of what we do about actions that, for perfectly good reasons, may cause offence, whether that offence is intentional or not. It's an issue that transcends Padstow, and actually goes right to the heart of English traditional culture, inclusiveness and tolerance.

I'm sorry if such PC concepts cause offence. None was intended.
