Must not call a psychiatric hospital a "loony bin"
I suppose "madhouse" wouldn't do either. Some Leftist dialogue sounds to me like it's out of a madhouse -- postmodernism particularly. Am I allowed to say that?
A takeaway has been criticised for calling a mental health hospital a 'looney bin' on their delivery note.
The remark - written on the letter - was found by a member of staff at a unit run by the Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust.
Staff took a photo of the note and posted it on Facebook alongside the caption: 'Takeaway delivered to staff at one of our hospitals last week with this delivery note attached. 'Still a long way to go to end mental health stigma.'
The note showed the delivery date as December 10, 2015 at 18.08, with the words LOONEY BIN in capitals handwritten alongside the blanked-out address details.
The Trust says its staff were 'greatly distressed' at the phrase and it has now removed the takeaway from its list of approved suppliers. It says it will not be ordering food from them again until this matter is resolved.

Any excuse to be offended.
Hey, sorry you work at the "loony bin!" There, problem solved...
The nations biggest insane insane assilum is called WASHINGTON D.C.
Poor little petals. By the sounds of it the staff weren't paying for the takeaway but the management which shouldn't happen. Mind you if the shoe fits... it is a description worth of parliament or congress depending on your democracy. Something tells me the takeaway won't go broke from the boycott.
Waah,waah,waah so tired of listening to the liberals whine all day long
Many who work in mental health perpetually play at being offended on other people's behalf. But they're not really offended. Its an emotional feel-good/feel-right ego trip for them. They are themselves unwell.
