.
Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue will no longer use Fireman Sam to promote the service after local residents complained that he was not “inclusive” enough.
An email seen by The Lincolnite revealed how Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue received negative feedback on their station open day posters and advertising material.
The email from an authority figure in the fire service stated: “A decision has been made not to include images of Fireman Sam on posters or advertising going forward, as it does not reflect the inclusive nature of Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue.
“Please can you ensure when you are designing posters that Fireman Sam is not used and more inclusive images are utilised.
“This also includes no longer using the Fireman Sam costumes on stations and using the Freddy and Filbert costumes instead.”
Lincolnshire’s chief fire officer, Les Britzman, said: “Firefighters nationally and residents locally have raised some concerns that ‘Fireman Sam’ doesn’t reflect the fire service today, in terms of both the job itself and our workforce.
“It’s important to us that our open days and community events don’t make anyone feel excluded and therefore we took this decision.
“We always make sure that we include plenty of activities and other ways to engage children and adults, to help them learn more about fire safety and a firefighter’s role.”
As a result of the pressure, Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue will use its own characters, fire extinguishers Freddy and Filbert, going forward in any promotional material.
The 32-year-old Fireman Sam children’s show, set in the fictional Welsh town of Pontypandy, has come under fire after people called for producers to use the term ‘firefighter’ instead of ‘fireman.’
Critics believe that by not using the gender-neutral term, the show is putting young girls off considering a career in the fire service.

They then ejected me from university .

Lincolnshire’s chief fire officer, Les Britzman .....................
A nice 'gender neutral' forename . Les , short for Leslie/Lesley can be either male or female . 'Les' is also a shortened term for Lesbian , which ties in nicely with those who identify as LGBT so that's another box ticked .
However the surname 'Britzman' raises a couple of concerns . Firstly the term 'Brit' has nationalistic connotations , something that surely cannot be condoned in multi-cultural Lincolnshire . Secondly any surname that ends with the word 'man' is clearly offensive (sexist) and a reminder of male domination , something that is now outlawed in Lincolnshire .

Next weeks agenda for the Lincolnshire Fire & Rescue Service includes a proposal to dispense with the traditional fire alarm in public buildings , which is deemed to be far too aggressive in nature and may cause distress to those of a weaker disposition . Suggestions for alternative fire alarms include 'Whale Song' , 'Rainfall' (various surfaces) and 'Ocean Wave on Shingle Beach' .
Quite sure some people post feedback on such issues out of mischief or wind ups to see which organisation is going to be daft enough to get hysterical about diversity of cultural cohesion,etc. This cant be serious,surely.
Sure I read somewhere recently that some transport company had taken down an advert involving Morressey because some brown eye had made a complaint
Funny how it is mostly the liberal touchy feely people that complain so easily mac, could this get ugly if the rest of us began complaining on spurious grounds to snarl up institutions and businesses out of a sense of mischief ? It seems every complaint makes them freeze and panic.
Saddo .yes your right I never attended kings college Oxford .yes credit where it's due you sussed me out .I was supposed to go there for an interview .but the train that I got on never stopped there .I think the engine driver must have got lost
It was still a nice day out on the train .a gentleman shown me how to tie my shoelaces .and another one gave me a tissue when he saw me blowing my nose on my raceing post newspaper
An handful of people out of 70 million and these institutions run around getting their knickers in a twist
As I sat in that coach looking out of the window I thought to myself .it wasn't that long ago when it took Marco Polo a month to get from Manchester to London on his donkey .I thought if only Marco Polo knew how long British rail had cut traveling time he would be immensely pleased
There was nothing worse than having to ride a donkey in the dark when you needed to get somewhere in a hurry .don't forget there were no lights in them days

You try and get a bed to sleep in on your journey in them days . it was almost impossible especially at Christmas. you just read the Bible and see how Mary and Joseph fared when they looked for a bed on their journey
Not to mention the highway robbers on their horses .it's a good job Joseph and Mary didn't meet one .if the highway robbers had stopped them and shouted stand and deliver .I beg to see the look on Mary's face
I thought there were physical qualifications to be a fireman...being able to carry a person on their back
and up ladders, etc. So it would seem more sensible a man does this job to me. Unless we are short of men to do it, I doubt that
still if a female could meet the physical requirements then she have a point I suppose
I prefer the world when I was younger, when there were men's things and women's things. Nowadays men have women in their face all the
time there no sanctuary from them except a monastery and the urinal's....they will probably get themselves in there one day.

One problem we have with women moving in on men's jobs.....
What does it leave men with?
Not a lot, except one thing VIOLENCE which men have always been good at.
I notice our modern gender equal society appears to be getting more violent all the time, looking at the number of stabbings.
The worse we had when I was young was mods and rockers on Brighton beach....nobody got killed.

What worries me is that women nowadays who want to chose the traditional wife model...are being pressured
by feminists to feel they are betraying women, they should all be trying to get men's jobs.
We need to guard against this, women do have more choice which is fine, but they have evolved to be house wives imo….
Why do you think feminists want to push women into doing men's things, to get their hands on them themselves of course!
Men need to wise up to this.

As I said at the top how do they get such power?
Are we so apathetic as to allow this absolute nonsense?
It's bonkers
The minorities are running the country by stealth and even the govt is being run by the opposition/minority parties.
Feminism frowns on stay at home mums. Lower birth rates among native Europeans is already a big issue.
We know who will fill the void....and they will ultimately destroy feminism.
To conclude: Feminists are committing suicide.

We are still very much in the 1960s ,despite all the media say so .
Women aren't moving in on mens jobs at all ,which is a real shame in fact .
I have yet to see a female fire person , scaffolder , refuse collector ,plumber ,electrician .mechanic ,hod carrier ,crane driver,metal scrap worker ...and i have seen precious few female HGV drivers and bricklayers .
This is the thing , Women don't wan't men's work in traditional /stereotype male environments unless it's clean,safe and well paid .
They want men's money but jobs that aren't as physically demanding, or require any skills set ...which is why most well paid women are in the same career type jobs they've always been in ... law,teaching, social worker etc
Women would not be much good in the jobs you mention coachbuster….men would be so much better, so there is no point?
Of course where a brain is required, then women can compete with men. As long as their brains are up to it.
Whether Science, Art or in some entrepreneurial way.
If some women want to stay housewife's, fine.
A society works best, when use people, men and women in the most useful way
Just my own opinion.
