No Gem my dear, the secret is to let women think they are in charge when in fact they are trained to do as the are told.Mrs C always agrees with me after a 20 minute "discussion" of what I say. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I were a kid in Nottinam in the 1950s they used ter say: "Don't go down St Anne's alone, y'll get robbed - it's the capital of Jamaica." Obviously total rot but that's how it was seen by some. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chulla 4,946 Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 #84. I'll probably get locked up for this, but I am reminded of a joke I heard well over 50 years ago: A black man was walking with his young lad. Dad. Why have we got such long legs? Son, its so that we can run quickly away from the wild animals. Dad. Why have we got such long arms? Son, its from when we used to swing from one tree to another. Dad. Why is our skin so dark? Son, it because of the searing hot sun that beats down on us all day. Dad. What are doing living on St Ann's Well Road? 1 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 #85: No offence meant Fly - it just reminded me of the time when black people, being new to the neighbourhood, were viewed with a sense of trepidation. I remember it was a fairly common thought that coloured folk lived on Kit-E-Kat. That is also obviously total bullocks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,138 Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 It was said that when the food inspectors investigated the then new Hong Kong restaurant on Arkwright St. they found tins of Kit E Cat on the shelves. It was the first Chinese in Nottingham. I always liked the place and was never put off by the rumours. I knew someone who went round Petfoods at Melton Mowbray and he was amazed by what quality products went into dog and cat food. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brew 5,418 Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I volunteer as a community ambulance car driver and recently picked up a lady to take her to a hospital appointment. I greeted her with "hello sweetheart, going to the eye clinic are we?" "Tut tut" someone muttered. "that's not only sexist but patronising as well" I really can't fathom out how such a small minority are having such a hugh impact. To paraphrase a Wiesenthal quote: 'For stupidity to flourish it only requires sensible people to do nothing' Without inciting a riot I'm old enough to say what I damn well please and if it upsets anyone then tough, they can live with it. 4 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trogg 2,016 Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 The young of today, in an article of today in the Mail a university is giving all freshers a wrist band with their address on in case they get too drunk and forget where they live . http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4892270/Snowflake-students-handed-wristbands-address-on.html . How did we ever manage to survive the 60s without someone looking after us all the time. PS I only read the Daily Mail as its free online and in the early hours of the morning I need something to brighten my day. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
