IF, for the sake of 'blushing men', Tesco supermarket is renaming their spotted dick puddings "Spotted Richard" (Evening Press, August 25), I dread to think what new appellation they will apply to their tins of pea soup and meatballs.

...I ONLY asked where I could get a "roll with honey" at Tesco recently and was nearly arrested, but then I remembered the Evening Press report about their sensitivity over spotted dick and re-phrased my suggestion.

Where is all going to end?

What will happen to toad-in-the-hole, black pudding, roly roly and...fly cake?
