Is this offensive or should I lighten up?

[C08]

Passing through Portland Marina and there was a barbeque or hog roast advertised which suggested fancy dress as WORKMEN and WORKWOMEN. Poor taste or not?

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Yeah.... lets all be workpersons....

what on earth is offensive about it?

 

[Lakesailor]

You should lighten up.

Eh? You've lost me.

 

[CAPTAIN FANTASTIC]

What's offensive about it? it is a matter of taste and naughty imagination!!

 

[ColleyV8]

Offensive to dole bludgers probably

 

[prv]

Is this offensive ?

Were you, personally, offended by it?

You cannot be offended on behalf of somebody else.

I know a lot of people who pretend to be workmen. And they get paid!

 

[Burnham Bob]

It's offensive - the picture it conjures up of women in high heels, suspenders, stockings and overalls is surely not acceptable in a modern society

 

[maxcampbell]

Definitely offensive - workmen are honest sweating geezers, struggling to keep their families in bread, whereas workwomen are tarts. Or is that just me?

[TonyBuckley]

No more offensive than using a term such as "SWMBO". I have to say I cringe a little when seeing that.

Maybe the OP is a vegetarian

Would a 3 piece pin stripe suit fit the bill

Shirley this t'read ought to be in The Lounge... or not... 'cos it's boring. And I'm maybe just a teensy bit offended.

Happy now?

Or should I lighten up....?

 

[Rigger Mortice]

It can't go in the Lounge. It was at a Marina and that's far too boaty for the Lounge.
The forum police would be offended.

Just tighten up your suspenders...
