JLR have completely lost the plot!

"Jaguar Land Rover in 'woke' row after bosses ditch the word 'slave' to describe car parts"

I suppose LR may survive but with the way it's being run at the moment I doubt whether Jaguar will still be a viable entity by 2025, and this sort of nonsensical behaviour , along with the persecution of "copyists" epitomises why. It is very sad, and Wm Lyons, and all the others who worked so hard to build Jaguar, must be turning in their graves

[DWW]

What about male and female connectors, are they destine to go gender neutral too?

[malcolm]

I find it sad, and pathetic, that so many people go to such ridiculous lengths to please such a small (but loud) minority.

[DWW]

Regretfully that is the way of the world and has been going that way for years......

[malcolm]

BTW, who is being offended? The cylinder that is being described as a slave?

[max-it-out]

What word will they come up with to replace " slave " ?

[MarekH]

The Mclaren F1 was ahead of its time...Perhaps for the next model, Jaguar will have to put the steering wheel in the centre of the car to avoid bias. Cars will no longer be allowed to be negative earth - surely it is better to be positive? Performance upgrades will be banned. After all, that means some cars must be less equal than others and that's the basis of discrimination. Logic says all cars must end up being painted in the colours of the rainbow so that no one can feel left out.

That does bring me to one of my pet hates. I can't help notice that the LBGTQetc flags aren't rainbow coloured. They always only have six colours, which means one of mauve or indigo is missing. I want to know which one has been sidelined and why is that colour being excluded? And what about about infra red and ultraviolet - don't they deserve to be included?

The world has gone mad.

Top marks to DWW for the male and female connectors...

kind regards
Marek

Dont tell your wife to "use the choke and throttle" as it will be seen as a hate crime. No more references to knobs or crank shafts .......

[Fuel.inj]

For the moment maybe, until the woke society gets offended.I agree the whole world has gone mad and all the minority groups have so much power to change things. It makes me sick to the core.

As I coined the phrase 2 years ago when I retired.......GO WOKE....GO BROKE.
I wouldnt stand for it.
The GUYS that bought my company went down that road, they are losing ALOT OF MONEY EVERY SINGLE MONTH.
Jaguar is dead my friends..........You know why the growler is no longer on any badges , just the UGLY LEAPER?
They took surveys of under 40 year olds.....They said the growler was offensive and mean.
Fact,
Well, I LOVE FRANCE AND GERMANY NOW ..........Starting up old coal plants!
I m so glad all my WW2 family are dead, this is a complete disgrace.

Not everyone would agree with all of those comments Joey

[JimmyS]

It could be worse...

[gtjoey]

Malcolm, That's fine but a least you have an opinion and expressed it.

On the steering wheel and facing on the boot........
The leaper is there not the growler.

You have friends ask around.....shall we talk about the old days with the X Type?

As regards brake cylinders I suppose 'Primary' and ' Secondary ' may suffice.

Not with an E type with its two master cylinders ( pedal and servo ) and 4 slave cylinders. I shall continue to use the terms I have always used
