It's not 'political correctness gone mad'...

The record-breaking mild weather this week certainly made Britain feel like it was well into the throes of Spring.

Easter Sunday falls on April 21 this year and chocolate eggs given out around the time of the Christian holiday have already appeared in the shops.With the shelves filling up, some people have started commenting that the eggs sold today don’t seem to have the actual word ‘Easter’ written on their packaging.

However pictures from the 80s and 90s – and even stretching as far back as the 1950s – are being shared on Twitter to prove the word was actually missing from egg boxes all along.Architectural Technologist Simon Pegg, of North Norfolk, shared a thread of nostalgic chocolate egg packaging on Twitter last February but it is now being retweeted whenever the issue arises.
