I worked in sales (a long time ago) where we had a client who was as bl8ck as the ace of spades and whom my colleague called ‘you bl8ck b8stard’. He called my colleague ‘h0nky’ and when I met the guy in question he seemed one of the nicest guys I’ve met. We got on really well.
Have heard other stories like mine as well.
Can’t we all (not the STW massive as this is a very good thread) just get over it and get on? The world would be a much better place… Sadly it seems the ‘papers can’t.
As a Royalist and someone who dislikes trash of any colour, I’m happy to be friends with someone who is nice whatever their colour or creed and I think most people feel that way. All my friends are like that anyway.
