Guy Gibson's Dog

[mushroom25]

OMG! they're showing the Dambusters on ITV4, and the name of Guy Gibson's dog hasn't been bleeped, scrambled, fuzzed or dubbed into something a little less offensive.

Whilst the name of the dog is a matter of historical accuracy, is it right in the 21st century that it should have been broadcast?

I know tony, "conversion" the act of a desperate man I thought

sorry, to answer the op, yes

A very funny story was told to me by a chap from Barbados about this word but I suppose I cannot relate it here. The world is in a sorry state when real inhumanity is ignored and words become unspeakable.

That was the name of G.P Gibson's dog then......and it remains so today.....and yes it is "right" that it should have been broadcasted.

What does '***' translate to on here?

^^that'll be the same as '******' then.

What a shower of ******?

Do you remember a book called "Little Black S*m*o" ? I can't believe that I have to bleep out the true name of a book that was regularly read out in schools and nurseries a few decades ago. I did just in case I am offending someone ! (PS - there was a tiger in it !)

Wharton, the 50+ airmen who died are remembered on numerous occasions by many people, the dog's name is a separate discussion altogether.
