Let's hope the guy who changed his name to "Yorkshire Bank Are Fascist B*stards plc" doesn't log on.

I recently posted a reply advising of the possibility where a small bit of light might get through a gap. I was surprised in the preview that a word had been replaced with ****. What's that I thought.
Oh yeh, that word that rhymes with INK and starts CH could also refer to an oriental person.
Strange thing is, I wasn't even aware that it was particularly derogatory in that context. I once had a Chinese mate that introduced himself as " Hi, I'm Chi Moi but my friends call me ****". Even stranger, I bet "slant eyes" would be OK.
Have to be so carefull nowadays. Trying to keep up with what innocent terms have been hijacked by PC brigade is just ....

Ever been called a Berkshire by an east ender?
Just a slight off thread.
Did you know that there's a place in Norfolk called "Ugly". It has it's own branch of the WI (called the Ugly Womens Institute).
Nearby there's another place called Nasty. (WI don't have a branch there though).

Then there was the bloke that changed his surname to "fortyseven" why 
for a laugh I suspect. Soon changed it back due to constant mistakes missadressed mail, dole cheques made out to the wrong amount etc.. Should have given it a bit of thought and made it "Million"

The story about Yorkshire Bank was that a customer with an account felt the bank was allegedly incompetant, to say the least, so the long-suffering fellow closed his a/c and changed his name to "Yorkshire Bank Are Fascist B*stards plc" so when they sent him a cheque, they had to print that on it!!
