Political correctness (adjectivally: politically correct; commonly abbreviated PC) is a term used to describe language, policies, or measures that are intended to avoid offense or disadvantage to members of particular groups in society. In public discourse and the media, the term is generally used as a pejorative with an implication that these policies are excessive or unwarranted. Since the late 1980s, the term has been used to describe a preference for inclusive language and avoidance of language or behavior that can be seen as excluding, marginalizing, or insulting to groups of people disadvantaged or discriminated against, particularly groups defined by ethnicity, sex, gender, or sexual orientation.
Early usage of the term politically correct by leftists in the 1970s and 1980s was as self-critical satire; usage was ironic, rather than a name for a serious political movement. It was considered an in-joke among leftists used to satirise those who were too rigid in their adherence to political orthodoxy.The modern pejorative usage of the term emerged from conservative criticism of the New Left in the late 20th century. Commentators on the political left in the United States contend that conservatives use the concept of political correctness to downplay and divert attention from substantively discriminatory behavior against disadvantaged groups. They also argue that the political right enforces its own forms of political correctness to suppress criticism of its favored constituencies and ideologies. In the United States, the term has played a major role in the "culture war" between liberals and conservatives.

I moved house three weeks ago and now, for the first time, have a combi boiler - it's a WB Greenstar 37CDi.
Among the documents given to me is a Service/Maintenance Certificate dated January 2019 whichsays that the boiler is safe to use. Attached to it is the output from a FGA which gives these...
What should be a straight forward connection is proving to be something annoyingly different.
I have a 1/2 inch compression coupler which I am attaching to a new shower mixer valve (cold inlet).
The photo doesn't show this but I have applied what I thought was adequate PTFE tape (10 rotations)...

Hi,
Was wondering if someone could shed some light on this one. My shower drain does not run when the shower is first switched on. A quick blast with a plunger and it will run as sweet as you like for as long as you want, but when the shower is switched off and you go to use it again you need...
hi there, had a sanicompact installed for a year now, with no issues. But lately, it has been making a different noise when flushing, and doesnt remove the toilet paper on the first flush. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks
Morning folks.
So had some great answers how to drain down system but I would like to remove radiator fully and cap of the radiator so to speak. However, it's a two pipe system and the arrangement is in the photo provided for clarity.
Can I simply just connect the flow pipe back onto the...
Hi all, just moved into a new house (new for me, not brand new), and having a few issues with the central heating system. The bloke I was buying the house off did mention that sometimes the upstairs rads get hot, sometimes they dont. I was hoping it would just be a case of balancing the rads, or...

Hi,
My sanicompact is not working correctly. As soon as you press the flush, it flushes immediately but only pumps away a tiny amount of water. With the sanicompact normally you press the flush and it takes 5 seconds to fill the pan before discharging but now its flushing it straight away...
hi
a week ago, we started to see problems with the central heating. When the central heating switches on, nothing happens. When the hot water is switched on, both hot water and central heating start working.
I assumed it was a problem with the diverter valve (we have a Drayton MAI/679-3 mid...
Hi
I have an old central heating system in my house which has been working OK up until 2 days ago.
The control unit (Potterton EP2001) developed some problems - some of the buttons stopped working and therefore I could not control on and off functions easily - so I purchased a new control box...

It's been years since I have had to size a cylinder and I know you allow x amount of litres per person so if it's a 3 bed with 2 double rooms it needs x size. But I can't for the life of me remember how to do it.
Also what do I allow for the heating of a cylinder on a y plan or do I just size...
A pneumatic flush has become increasingly difficult to operate so much so that the button has to be kept depressed for the whole duration of the flush. I disconnected the plastic tube from the button and gave it a good blow but to absolutely no effect. So the push-button would appear fine but I...
