“maybe they can pay the designers another �14,000 to desgin the female version too!!”

Oh dear. I can only imagine what it’d look like …

And I imagine the Oil and Gas Commission would be also be interested.

I’d imagine that working in a goverment office can’t be too exciting, least this gives the staff a giggle as they rise their company mug or use their mouse mat during their working day! Wonder if they will now use this for the male toilet signs internally, then, maybe they can pay the designers another �14,000 to desgin the female version too!!

Matt@ I read that on one of the articles going around. I’ve meet a lot of civil servants overseas and they always seem to be having fun :-)

Danita@ Yeah, and what a BAM is is! I’d love to be in the UK right now, getting comments from the old folks (now that’d be a lark)

At first I didn’t see it and then ‘BAM’ now all I can see is it. LOL!

Quite amusing, indeed.

I like it, I’m sure it was deliberate… most civil servants spend their time down the pub so it’s pretty apt.

Oh, Tom – you are BAD and I’ve always liked that about you!

Chris@ Exactly. Governments don’t need to let it ‘all’ hang out, but relaxing a little bit would help.

Tom@ And I applaud your grasp of the English ;-)

In an age where everything has become painfully politically correct, it’s charming and disarming to see an organization take a firm grasp of their situation and defuse a potentially embarrassing climax to a story without help or hindrance. I for one, applaud their spunk!

I agree with what Cat said. Governments take themselves WAY too seriously. Keep the logo and put some humor back into a place that lost it centuries ago.
