Go to work on an egg

Post by Claude Balls » Fri May 22, 2020 10:53 pm

A Scottish charity is trying to give away thousands of chocolate eggs after lockdown forced it to cancel its Easter egg hunts.

The National Trust for Scotland (NTS) had taken delivery of 30,000 eggs by mid-March. With a use-by-date of July, the clock is now ticking for the operation to give them all away.

About half of the stockpile has already gone to hospitals, food banks and community groups.

NTS customer director Mark Bishop said it was "heartbreaking" to have to cancel the annual egg hunt.
He added: "As well as being our biggest weekend of the year, Easter marks the start of the season for many of our properties but given the unprecedented global situation, everything had to be put on hold. In the midst of all this, though, we saw that some good could come out of the situation.

"Thirty thousand Easter eggs don't eat themselves and our operations teams have been finding places for them to go."

Hold on just on goddam cotton-pickin' minute! Didn't the National Trust CANCEL Easter so as not to offend Muslims? I know this is true because it was in the Mail and the Sun last year. Also, ALSO, Cadbury's gave into political correctness by removing the word Easter from their Easter egg packaging* so as not to offend the Muslims as well.


* Except where it said 'Easter' in multiple places.

Good grief! Does this mean that Microsoft need a visit from the PC Police? Crivens!
