Just spotted a story on the Daily Mail web site concerning a family being told they can't call the Fat Controller the Fat Controller it has to be Sir Topham Hatt!
Thomas the Tank Engine attraction bans The FAT Controller 'slur' https://mol.im/a/11105619 via https://dailym.ai/android
"A family day out at the Watercress Line railway in Hampshire took an unusual turn when a staff member requested that they refer to The Fat Controller by his real name, Sir Topham Hatt.'"
To be honest I am quite appalled that a traditional children's character has fallen to the politically correct brigade.
I seem to recall from my reading of the Railway Series that there was also a Thin Controller and a Small Controller at other Sodor Lines are they being renamed?
