The 'blackboard' thing was one of those 'PC gone mad' things that occasionally used to turn up in newspapers a few years ago. It was an urban myth. Noone was ever banned from calling a blackboard a blackboard.
The Golliwog thing....you think it's overly PC to not want a picture of a toy based on a black servant with overly exaggerated racial features, the name of which became a common insult for black people, on jamjar lids?
Ok.
