T shirts, be carefull

I had one years ago, the logo was "The original tour de France", with the battles on it.

I wore it to work on a dress down day, and got a dressing down. Working at a county council FE college (Lincolnshire), it was thought to be offensive. Was asked to get changed and not wear it again by a senior manager.

In todays politically correct environment the same might happen more often. Now I work in a University, and the all powerful politically correct brigade can label you guilty with no right to a defense, or to know who has raised a complaint.

Sorry I don't buy into PC, its all Bull***t and I won't be wearing it at work anyway, So in the words of the immortal Rhett Butler" Frankly my dear I don't give a damn".

You've just got to know the right people.
It's a very exclusive T-shirt, custom made, and no expense spared. (Or was that spent!)

Anyway Gwynn had to wait years for that shirt, and we've no plans on going into mass production

Anyway here's the front
