Just had official notification from my boss - who at least came to tell me herself - that she'd spoken to the 'equal ops' person - who helpfully has a unisex name so that you have equal opportunities to try and recall if a woman or man is being referred to - who says that the playing card idea is likely to cause offence to some religions.

Presumably there's a strong contingent of southern Baptists here looking to cause trouble. [Sorry, sarcasm isn't becoming.]

It's disappointing I guess but leaves room to wonder if there's not some other 'cardish' way of doing the same thing. Postcards with photos on one side? Or might that offend some sizeists who want something they can put in a purse? [Must stop that now.]

Yes, I think I'm disappointed.
