It's not often that you and I are on the same wavelength but on this we certainly agree..It's a world gone completely nuts that anyone could find this offensive.
Like the poor shop assistant the Newcastle Branch of Evans who called me flower and I said how much I had missed such colloquialisms. She was immediately contrite because some dimwit customer had complained to her manager because of being called flower too.Said it was patronising..Duh!only if a bloke says it to you is it anything like patronising and then I'm not going to get offended by that. It's better than the present attitude of men calling women bitches.
So now the poor woman has to work hard to remove the natural kindly expressions that she uses everyday because some stupid female thinks that one woman calling another flower is demeaning.
