black ice isn't black though is it? just clear so you can see the tarmac through it :thumbs

I agree with the comments about a lost sense of English and feeling we should be ashamed for the past, what's done is done, it's made the world what it is today and a lot of people have reaped the benefits.

If we have to grovel and apologise for the past I vote we start with getting the pope to apologise for the Romans invading and work forwards fomr there

It's funny how i seem to have been branded as 'ultra PC' for pointing out that the correct term for a black person is black, and that the impresion you have of an over the top PC world is initself the issue not the term black.

so for the record Trevor McDonald is Black and i would assume happy and proud of the fact!

Plank, I would not say you are "ultra pc " at all what I would say is that most people in this country of ours (when I say that I mean England cause if we are honest a scot isnt bothered about a englishman or a welshman and a welshman feels the same as does the englishman about a scot,) it seems to be that we cannot use our natural everyday language, I agree Trevor Mc Donald is black but when we read in the papers that english is now being looked upon as the "premier"language in Europe then I have to ask myself if I cant say what I want without having to think about upsetting someone what chance has a european got, consider this--- A chap goes to a football match and asks to buy a seat,he pays for a seat and then the guy takes the ticket and asks the steward where his seat is the steward says "go to STAND 3 ROW 4""no no no Ive paid for a seat I dont want to stand" this actually happened to my mate whilst on holiday here from Greece. He always lists this as the "funny english" that we speak.:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol

I had to chang the plate on my first Patrol as the wife wouldn have 69 or cum on the back... When viewed from the back with the spare wheel cover it was quite funny.. It was known as the CUM Patrol for a short while!!

i cant belive anybody could get away with that.. if that was true wouldnt it just cause hatred towards the polish.

 

[briggie]

im sure one of the " legal eagles " will advise better , but im sure inciting racial hatred is a criminal offence ..... so i dont see how they could get away with it

 

[clivvy]

i dont know about racial hatred, but i love that rear number plate/wheel cover combo! i think id pay to have that setup!!

That can't be right, who'd want to eat a person ? Polish or otherwise.

 

[makeitfit]

Dont know the law BUT any shop keeper or landlord can refuse to serve anyone and doesnt need to give a reason:augie
So in theory one could just serve anyone asking for tea in polish

dave36, it looks as if plank doesn't believe you mate, well i do because they were discussing something similar on our local radio station a few weeks ago. :thumb2

it would be idealistic to think this was acctuly the way it worked in circumstances such as those described regarding a polish cafe, however there are ways within British law that you can discriminate on any grounds, bu i'm not telling :augie

and it's not that i dont beleive the posting here, it's can we trust the source it came from? and racism may be a technical issue hee as being Polish isn't a race it is a nationality. I was thinking that maybe the person who originated the story had got hold of the wrong end of the stick?

eeeuw, not the Brown end I hope :lol

The big fib

This one was started by the Daily Mail back in the early 80's when they claimed that Harringay Council had banned the use of the term in the staff canteen and you had to ask for a coffee without milk as it was a racist remark to ask for a black coffee.

This was picked up by all the media and it became common canteen talk in the workplace. It was in fact based on zero fact and was thought up by a journalist to discredit the PC initiatives being brought in to address real discrimination in the workplace.

When I was in Police Training School in the 80's it was an often aired view by Trainee Police Officers. Theye were amazed that it was not based on any real initiative !

You were either being wound up or the person who had a go at you is far from being as smart and PC as he is making out to be.

Neat Colour

ok, so, did he explain in detail why it was racists? did he list the historical facts leading to the present day that now make black coffee racist? Did he say what colour he sees himself as?did he consider to you, if a white coffee can be racist?

ahhh...its all balls. seriously, youll go out to buy yourself a nice new car, and you want a black one, except when you ask for a black one you have to say "id like a car please" what colour sir? " absence of light is my preferred choice"

what a penis.

LOL I want one in that colour AOLIMPC paint please !!! Ha Ha

So there is defininitely no such thing as a black hole in outer space

"its an absence of light hole"
