has anyone bothered to log in to said facebook page and see what it's all about? say what you like about stripey- he does post a lot of interesting stuff, and stimulates a lot of debate, which is a good thing chaps. anyway, i'd like to dump an anecdote that's been burning a hole in my pocket- vaugely related to the pc/non-pc debate, maybe someone would find it interesting. i worked at a shop in altens, a cash and carry. The boss was a lesbian, i cant remember the exact ciscumstances, but the boss was doing the rounds motivating her troops one day, she had somehow got a bee in her bonnet about how certain ethnic minorities were being refered to by the staff. anyway to cut a long story short we were instructed that the term "black" was a no-no, or to use her phrase "totally unacceptable", she demanded we used the term "coloured". there was to be no deviation from this procedure, and if anyone was caught using the banned phraseology disciplinary action would be taken. i knew i was fighting an up hill battle, but i did go and visit her in her office and made it clear she was an idiot, but she had no grasp of history- i even mentioned the civil rights movement in the states.... i got a written warning for that. actually it might have been for criticising the recorded out put of KD Lang in the canteen in her earshot. this whole debate is silly. Scottish folk are usually portrayed as "tight", it's harmless fun. I was once called "jockanese" by a black cockney in Drakes, i thought it was funny, he got all shirty when i mentioned my theory that football spread aids..... yeah.
