Nit-picking pedantic political correctness?

Just wondering how people from a certain town in N. E. England beginning with 'S' & ending with 'thorpe' feel about not being able to use the full name of there town on the AB ? I used it in a recent - very good - joke & it was banned after about a day . 'What a silly bunt ' to quote Monty Python

it's not the word within the word that people object to it is the word itself
please refrain from using it from now on.

With road tax hikes hitting those with 2001-2006 registered cars, would you consider selling up and buying a pre-2001 model to escape the the tax mans wrath?

Yes 

No 

The hikes don't really bother me
