Tube to change 'ladies and gentlemen' announcements
The "ladies and gentleman" greeting on Tube announcements is to be scrapped, Transport for London (TfL) has announced.
London Underground staff have been told to say "hello everyone" in an effort to become more gender-neutral.
TfL said the move was to ensure all passengers felt "welcome".
LGBT campaign group Stonewall welcomed the decision, which was supported by London mayor Sadiq Khan at a session of Mayor's Question Time last month.
The revised phrasing will be applied to all new pre-recorded announcements made across the capital's transport network.
WHAT A JOKE!

I don't see how this can negatively affect anyone's life in London. But I am sure this will be talked about a lot in the coming days which is good news for Khan. Keeping the dumb folk busy in dumb issues is a favorite for politicians.
Why aren't they announcing call to prayers - this is an astonishing omission. Shame on them
Do you always have to post about the muslims even when the thread is not related to that? You are whining that he hasn't done that and you'll be whining when he does that. Either way, you'll be the one complaining and its not a bad idea to make peace with the reality. You will have to at some point.
Ahh but it is numbnuts Detra, no more mention of Ladies suits the Islam/Muslim Khan agenda just fine!
"HI EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!"
In the style Dr Nick Riviera would be my choice. Bring some humour to the madness.

Why would anyone feel alienated with 'ladies and gents'?
Even those confused, or tranny swapping whimsical switchers will still be one or the other in their heads, still all bases covered.
Or are there 'neither' and/or 'both' options nowadays?

If there is a chance of upsetting a few dozen people, they will make 65 million change their ways. Snowflake politics, sickening.
This gender neutral stuff is causing me some concern. Can I still call someone a coont or a pr1ck. I'm really worried as I don't want to offend anyone

I heard it today at Southfields. Move along the platform please ladies and gentlemen,
" sorry I am not allowed to say that anymore. Move along the platform please customers! "
As a point of order did Labour really insist on that? TFL run London Underground not the Labour Party. Proof please!

It is all part of removing aggression from the male. After all, they are the most violent.
Catherine, Elizabeth, Golder Meir, Thatcher, etc were all really nice people
but we now have the agenda of weakening the male species.

All this expectancy that if there's something about the way other people are then the environment has to change around you is tedious.
Life is and always has been about adapting or dying.
So get on with it.

All they had to do was add the not sures after Ladies and Gentlemen
then we would all be happy
then we would all be happy
We can never all be happy while they pander to a noisy few, but they had better beware most of us becoming unhappy with this PC shoite. Push hard enough and you'll get a rebound.
Some excellent contributions on this thread. saddo takes the prize but others must shirley (see what I did there..)be mentioned in dispatches 
Just shows you Brough Scott was way ahead of the times.
Good morning ladies, gentlemen and cuckoos.
Although to be fair quite a lot of people aren't worthy of being called a lady or gentleman so perhaps Hello Everyone is best.

I'd like to see gentlewoman and gentlefolk revived.
The gentlefolk of Winchester are slightly concerned that if the dry spell continues their petunias may be affected.

Nobody has told Wimbledon, they still have Gentleman's and Ladies titles.
They'll have to change it when they are forced to allow some bloke called Eric to play in the ladies championship.
Apart from the Wimbers crowd being hideously white and the etiquette old fashioned and not gender neutral, I enjoy it...

Not as pathetic as changing the way a country has does things for centuries, just in case they hurt the feelings of a few soft buggers.
"man up" is a well used phrase, it will be outlawed in a few years no doubt.
In films and on stage women want to be called actors but of course they still want seperate awards
