Subject: RE: Is 'black as any moor' acceptable?
I didn't get the connection between Morris and Moor. Thanks.

I had a friend who whenever we would talk about going down to Mexico would say "going over to Mexico" instead as if the word down was a poor reflection on Mexico. So I take it saying black is the problem not the word Moor. Something for me to think about.

PS: you're alright, sandman; a top man as you blokes would say
