Village name offends vegans

[cricketfieldclarets]

I can see why as well.

Maybe it should be called cotton. Providing no African Americans from the 1700s visit any time soon...

I think perhaps PETA ought to launch a national campaign to allow sheep to keep their woolly jumpers on, year after year, until they are far too overheated and scarcely able to move - as well as being fly-blown. I doubt the sheep would be as keen.

[Dazzler]

A PETA representative was on the the news yesterday morning...the woman talked so much crap she came across as mentally ill.

People taken in by their publicity stunt to bring awareness to a new campaign. Job done

[Buxtonclaret]

Can't see the Parish Council doing a U-turn here.....

[claptrappers_union]

Publicity stunt. Why do you believe this stuff is genuine? Don’t let them pull the wool over your eyes.

Very good. I see what ewe did there...

[Corky]

It is just a bit of a publicity stunt. However the woman from PETA said that it was a creative and fun way to reach the public with the facts. But the fact is that the village name is derived from the old word for Well.

We now live in a culture where all captious pillocks are right, it comes from litigation USA. Stuff the vegans, I take offense at Radio 1, so ban it yeah.

I am sure this will really win support for Vegans.

No mate,being referred to as the Twatt from Twatt would be fine by me.

That Miss Allen doesn't know much about the cotton industry does she - 'cruelty-free fabrics such as cotton'.

A friend of mine married a lass who used to live in Cockermouth in Cumbria.
The best mans speech at the wedding was a belter....

For years we regularly drove through a village near Mold in North Wales which the Missus and I often discussed as being an apt place for us to live: Loggerheads.

[Nonayforever]

How do you know someone is a vegan ?

A. They tell you as soon as you meet them.

Used to worm regular in mold. Never fancied the local takeaway 'mold kebabs'!

[Smeghead]

They should probably focus their attention on Upper Ramsbottom fist. Sorry - I meant first...

Way too predictable.

[FactualFrank]

Can we please forget the vegan jokes. They don't count after 2000 years.

[dougcollins]

I know a guy in PETA.

He's a violent extremist nutter.

This is what happens when you give nutters enough rope. A sheep doesn’t die when it gives wool; it dies when it gives a sheepskin. Wankers.

[evensteadiereddie]

Does the Daily Mail give out free tissues to its readers ? Yet another non-story for them to knock one out over....

[Vegas Claret]

I'm not offended, oh sorry........
