Well rather you can't.

I've been advised that it is no longer PC to ask someone to "bear with me" if you want them to hold for a moment on the phone while you get some information for them.

What should I say now. "Right get your kit of while I sort out this problem for you?"

I do think its a shame that we have gone so OTT on the PC. Of course, I am all for eliminating hurtful, demeaning language, but its a shame that things have gone so far the other way that we're all to afraid to speak - or too confused!!

I never try to deliberately hurt anyone by what I say but I'm so pissed of by this PC extremism I'm inclined to just say Feck it and say what I want.

You're joking!!! That does actually suck. Do you remember when they considered banning us all from flying the George flag when England were playing in the World Cup (briefly as it may be )
