Free Gingerbread persons

I realise that this has a very limit availbility to most people, but A.E Barrow the Bakers on the High St, Sittingbourne where giving away free Gingerbread persons. Notice it is "persons" not "men". Not that this matters as they still taste the same.

Sorry this is a pick-up only freebie and not e-mail/post

    If only I lived there! My sons LOVE gingerbread people!
  • "persons" - now we really do live in a PC world gone mad if that's what they now are.

    No doubt there is an EU ruling which states that they have to be made anatomically correct in order to call them Gingerbread Men :D

    The average woman would rather have beauty than brains,
    because the average man can see better than he can think.

    Many people's view of the world is down to their experience, perception and what they have been conditioned to,this isnt any old MSE reply this is a important and experienced MSE reply :rotfl:

    It seems that the offer was only available for a limited amount of time (i.e. they where probable out of date and the just wanted to get rid of them)
    If they where still available I would a had no hesitation in recommending a trip from Isle of Sheppey

    How about "Gingerbread Homo-sapien" but that would leave out most of the gene-pool do we include Homo-erectus or god forbid HOMO-HABILIS, Darwin would roll over in his grave. It would be a PC disaster. What if Gorila-gorila would demand its time in the bakery, "may I have 3 gingerbread Gorila's please?" Or would you have to say "Gingerbread primate" And would you make a difference between Male and female.
