Blimey my dad would have been in trouble today.

We had a cat called Blacky

He loved the Black and White minstrals

We used to eat jam where the glass had a picture of a gollywog on

Was he rascist?

Definately not. We didn't think of it that way, and we still don't.

My daughter has a black doll. Does that make her rascist. I think not.

I have played a lot of cricket in my days and played with all natiianalities. We have all taken the pi** out of each other but never got offended.

In fact it reminds me of the time when one of my cricket friends called Neville (who was black) and a smashing bloke, had a dance with a woman, and the next minute the husband of the woman started to attack him. It took about five of us whities to hold this bloke down so that he didn't hurt our mate. If we had been rascist we would have helped the Husband.

I work with people who have mental illnesses and one day this bloke who had done a job wrong, suddenly said "blimey I am going bonkers" we all laughed because it was so funny to hear him say that.
I wonder what would have happened if I had said it. I dread to think, with the wrong person listening.

It concerns me greatly when people pull you up for a saying something that is totally misconstrued by them.

The way we are going, even Max Bygraves Pink Toothbrush will be outlawed for being rascist.

Keep the traditions going I say.
Incidentally George good post of yours at 1:29pm
