Slough. Didn't bother me but a bit intimidating at night. Should have seen the halal butcher's counter at Tesco. About 100 fet long with about 25 butchers working flat out, very interesting.Only went in to get some sandwiches and they were all halal meat,no choiceWhat area was that.
I walked around West Hounslow in London a while ago and found out asap what it must of been like being different race in strange area
You just of well dropped me off in Nigeria or Islamabad.
Yes and at the time it wasn’t considered offensive. If you don’t reckon it’s wrong today then there might be a problem . I don’t think they repeat it much. Personally it just reminds me how dire Saturday night TV was in the seventies and eighties. It also got 15 plus million viewers every week.
If you don’t think that’s funny then you’ve no sense of humour but again it’s nearly fifty years old people have to live in the now.

Really? I'm quite fond of my wife.
There's always some organisation recruiting and saying they are going to employ more ethnic minorities,more women etc. NO. Employ the people most capable of doing the job, regardless.
Don't judge everyone by your own beliefs. I only dislike prejudice, as in pre-judgement. I've met ar*eholes from all backgrounds, and decent folk from all backgrounds too.
When my daughter was at Kings College she lived on the Old Kent Road. We went to visit her and walked from Peckham into the city centre a couple of times. It was all very vibrant with a real mix of people. We were interested in the grocers shops as they had a real mix of stuff from all over. The butchers shops were very busy it seemed the locals weren’t living on processed food. Whilst waiting for the Heart Research Shop to open we had a coffee and cake in cafe run by an Algerian ex cage fighter. He was so chuffed that we were Africans too that he wouldn’t let us pay. ( i’m very white and my wife isn’t black) . We were staying near London bridge and walked home close to midnight with no worries. It reminded me of being on the train in New York we headed by mistake into Queens. Getting off the train we realised our mistake i then approached a gang of black people i asked which platform took us to Long Island. Rather than knifing us they took us to the right platform and waited until the right train came.What area was that.

Many large public facing organisations are terrified of the negative publicity from lacking diversity within their ranks, many also aspire to have far more females within their hierarchy with some actively pushing to have a Female CEO -a fact which means this becomes a point scoring/box ticking excercise during their recruitment process which then seems almost hypocritical to me
I know,look at the Welsh rugby union. Some historic evidence of the old farts being disrespectful to women in the building and the response was to go to actively find a woman and get a former post office CEO
, who openly says she knows nothing about rugby,to take over the running. Have Nigel Walker as director of rugby,our Welsh Forest Gump to tick another box,guess which one.
Local lad was a house building carpenter and got paralyzed in a car crash,lost the use of his legs so in a wheelchair. A couple bought the house next door and were putting a new kitchen and some velux windows on the roof. Wheelchair man was offended when they didn't take him up on his offer to help
. Let's face it, anything above worktop was out of reach( literally).
Yes but people watched it in their millions. The BBC didn't remove it because people liked it. The Major in Fawlty Towers is a parody but the Black and White Minstrels was popular with the masses. As a 12 year old from Lincolnshire I didn't think it was racist just naff. Society changes .
We've all watched it as a family none of us reckon it was racist just hilarious.
