I just think we are going too far, it appears it is not those of other origins that take offence at remarks like this and if they do, they do not go on and on about it. For goodness sake the golliwog is part of
my childhood nothing to do with race at all and I am sure people of ethnic groups collected the little labels and wore the badges as well.
My best mate in the army was called Chalky and I also had a nickname (not telling you though) we called each other it all the time, we did not fall out over it why should we. No we were friends and we watched each others backs and I would trust him as he did me and if we met again tomorrow we would still call each other by the same names of that I have no doubt.
Barry is right we have gone mad in this Country.
