The hunts are sponsored by Cadburys...a firm that was started by a Christian....though obviously not run along the same lines now just a money making business. |

According to the lunchtime news the NT have now changed their wording to "............. at Easter". Which probably means they can do egg hunts at any time of the year ;-) |

Cadbury's was started by Quaker. Quakers don't celebrate Christian festivals so the Bishop was a bit daft to mention the company spitting on him. He wouldn't celebrate Easter at all, let alone with Easter eggs. |

Whilst Quakers may not follow Christian holidays; don't know I'm not one; the whole aspect of Easter is the Christian faith. The obvious conclusion is they dropped the Easter so as to not offend others...how can it be offensive...you don't hunt eggs any other time of the year. :-S |

The Advert on TV begins with the words "This Easter ..." |

But the printed words say egg hunt not Easter egg hunt like every other year. |

Easter is (or was) basically a pagan festival anyway... |

Granted but the church follows it so good enough for me. |

So what? It's introduced with the words "This Easter ..." fairly clear what they mean. |

Hmm...by the National Trust own admittance on their website...they did drop the word Easter but have now added it back...and with a video it's possibly quicker/cheaper to add a word to the voice over rather than change the pictures. |

What made you think it was to avoid upsetting someone? Who did you think would be upset? |

They didn't get it wrong the NT have admitted they dropped it and have replaced it. |

They didn't drop it. The word Easter is all over the NT and the Cadbury websites and always was - just not on the eggs this year. No big deal. The sponsors wanted their name to be bigger on the eggs, I imagine. |

We'll have to agree to disagree but they did drop it/not add it/added it later |
