Using 'Miss' and 'Mrs' has been banned by leaders of the eu because they are not considered politically correct.
Brussels bureaucrats have decided the words are sexist and issued new guidelines in its bid to create 'gender-neutral' language.
A booklet warns European politicians they must avoid referring to a woman's marital status.
This also means Madame and Mademoiselle, Frau and Fraulein and Senora and Senorita are banned.
This is frankly ludicrous. We've seen the eu institutions try to ban the bagpipes and dictate the shape of bananas, but now they seem determined to tell us which words we are entitled to use in our own language.
As I couldn't think of a sheet-music cover to match this story, I'll include a little pic. of my organ bass pipes under contruction instead.
Oh yes......I nearly forgot.
I've did have one put by for today.
