You state that these signs are common, Jim, and the majority of others say they are not.

The past belongs in the past, and surely everyone here is in complete agreement that such signs and the prejudice which unerpins their use are equally wrong and should be stamped out.

So this long and acrimonious argument is about the veracity or otherwise of your original claim.

A non argument, if ever there was one, since it can be neither proved nor disproved.

If you are going to fight, why not fight the prejudice where it happens, whis is most assuredly not on this forum.
