    There was a publication that said that Bowdler and his sister castrated Shakespeare!

      I thought that was Charles and Mary Lamb with their "Tales from Shakespeare"

        I'm not traumatised as I have read so many books of all genres that I get them all mixed up and, nowadays, can't remember most things :scratch: :heehee:

          Some of the Blyton changes proved unpopular so they reverted, I guess it meant book sales fell.

          Another cynical view is they changed to be controversial to get free publicity.

            I never liked reading Shakespeare having been forced to do so for English Lit O Level. Our text books had so many side bars and footnotes explaining what the hell was going on I found it impossible to read. Just looking back at the old English phrases and syntax makes me think it would be better to update it for us plebs.

              Not half as offensive as what I say when I am shocked or surprised.

                I'm lucky i sliped on a 5 bar gate as i'm a "it" now, i'm not a fully working male person now, so we should also change "male" & "female" now to "person" and should have an op to make us all neutral and even.
                all vehicles should be the same colour so it doesn't offend
                This could be a long list of many changes i'll stop now

                    Ive just heard that there is a shortage of fruit and veg. Let panic buying commence. On the plus side it will be good for the health...

                      Sounds like just another created shortage so that they can make massive profits.

                        Some supermarkets are limiting the amount of fresh veg each customer can buy. Crazy people think they can stockpile their homes with cucumbers like they did when panic buying toilet rolls.

                          TBH, I can live without cucumbers tomatoes etc.

                            Not in Scotland. There are still plenty of Chips and Crisps available.
