It is actually, during the world cup people in certain area's of the UK were asked not to have them on their car's so not to offend the multicultural taxi drivers.
Is "bollocks" an acceptably anglo-saxon word for a response in this context?
yes but apparently real english folk swear by putting the swear word in the ******* wrong place if his earlier effort is anything to go by
Bollix.
I resisted for a while then read the OP, but none of the thread beyond that.
"Person in expensive car throws litter out the window" seems to sum it up.
Is any of it worth reading?
if you really want to swear use old norse, it's much more fun
Al it's all a massive trollage and total bqllr
eddie1971 - MemberWell got a few more bites tonight, hope I get this many at the weekend round the lake.
And thanks for the history lesson's, they really bored me
As Winston Churchill, Gor'Bless him, might have said, if he was still around, those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat emails from their pals in the EDL in the hope that someone breaks cover and agrees with them.

The French are worse.
Is any of it worth reading?
No.
Is anyone left on this thread actually English??
Nah - I'm officially an Irish traveller nowadays (mum and dad owned a caravan, which appears to qualify me).
my point about the empires is that you move towards homogeneity even for a really long time, but then as soon as the unifying influence disappears the differences return.
It's probably not just a case of the differences returning but that empires create the conditions for that to happen. What better way for the colonial subjects to resist the metropole than to maintain their own language even in the face of persecution. Perhaps it is the nature of past empires which we have to thank for the current level of nationalism?
Interesting point. From what I understand of the Roman Empire though large chunks of the upper and middle classes were far too busy enjoying the perks to worry about independence. Much like that Life of Brian scene.
In any case - we should not try to go back, only forward...
