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

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

So a fuss about nothing. No one is "dropping Easter" at all.

Pointless.....they'd melt.

Easter eggs are a tasty treat albeit over priced and "not good for you"

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

Easter eggs......where's the harm....so why drop the word Easter...

Hot Cross buns all year are just stupid but then the eggs are available in some forms often during 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.

Can't see what the fuss is about.

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 ;-)

Don't get me going on hot cross buns being available all year round.

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.
