Walk the Walk

The green man has been helping Britons cross the road for decades, but one council has now decided to offer a gender-neutral alternative.

Lincolnshire County Council is rolling out new signs at pelican crossings in Boston, and walkers are being asked to wait for the green figure before they cross.  The authority says the signs are helping to keep the streets as safe as possible, but critics have questioned whether the change has been motivated by political correctness.

This is rapidly becoming very silly.
