Does anyone else think this is a sexist title for a stretch of water? I propose renaming the Alderney Race to "The crabbit old men." What do you think? or perhaps "Scuttlebutt Forum Heroes" may be more apposite?
Look you miserable git(ess), historical names for well known landmarks are a national heritage, and your pointless posts will do nothing to help our children understand that heritage!
I agree with Jemie ,this is completely unacceptable in this day and age. The Old man of Hoy should also be renamed as the Mature Person of Hoy . /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
