Chuff I see nothing wrong with it either and what you say is right and probably so do 99% of the GBP. The problem lies within this forum. Ive been on DS and another site this morning and its mentioned in fleeting posts but its got 6 pages on here. Personally I think the issue is the word boy being used, and if she was older it would be ok but as a young lass, it come across as demeaning. Sadly Ghetto speak comes out and gets analised in the wrong context so thats where it all falls down.
Some people really need to lighten up and brush off silly verbiage poo pahs and move on. Making an issue of everything not in conformation to PC rules is creating a gender gap and fallouts like these.
