I mean most of us would like say, a younger model or a glamourpuss but honestly some of the profiles I've seen of women on their late 40s who honestly believe they can bag a lad 15+ years younger than themselves or are high maintenance princesses is amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going through a spate of similar news too... lost one in January and two imminent (8 weeks to 3 months at best) sad times and makes you sit up and take stock of what we hold dear.

AlwaysAVFC Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) I’ve got a relatively new Portuguese member of staff. She thought we couldn’t accept Scottish money, she checked with me and I told her it was fine, but in the meantime the boy went back to family. Up comes an aggressive Scotsman accusing us both of being racist. Criticise the training by all means, and i’m sure it might get annoying as it probably badly happens a lot but racist?! If it was company policy to not accept it, he might have a point but to aggressively accuse someone not from Britain who made a mistake (wasn’t actually aware), of racism was out of order as far as i’m concerned I’m pissed off again just writing it down. I feel like shouting out a load of words which certainly could be construed as racist. Edited March 4, 2018 by AlwaysAVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have told him that technically Scottish money isn't legal tender in England are you are doing him a favour by accepting it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a Which article: Quote Your view on banknotes Some of you shared your experiences on our Facebook page, highlighting the confusion about spending these notes. Eric told us: ‘I tried to pay for something with a Bank of Scotland £20 note in Sainsbury’s, Nottingham and was asked what type of food voucher it was.’ Edited March 4, 2018 by snowychap 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I am going to try and articulate this as best I can and hopefully at the end the racists won't claim me as one of their own. Some advertising posters popped up in the UK swapping the white leads for black actors, created by legallyblack. Now I have seen over the past few years the outcry associated with white actors playing black or asian characters. White washing is the term. The point of the posters is that a black actor could play those roles, with this I firmly agree, however, this is black washing. The faux outrage is levelled at the film makers and not at the source material, their outrage should be at JK Rowling, at Ian Fleming, Helen Fielding, they are the creators of the white characters.

Hermione potentially could be white, black, mixed race or asian as it isn't specified, indeed, a black actress was cast in The Cursed Child. Ron was described in the books and Harry has appeared on the cover many many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Weasley, I grant you, is undeniably a ginger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
