HRHdid nothing wrong.

Brits and the armed forces give anythng and everything nicknames -it's a national trait.

Whatever contation the name used to have it's time people grew up and stop taking offence where none is meant.

If the immigrant community can't adapt to outlittle peculiarities it is not for us to change them.

You are of course absolutely right Vera, and I for one would like to say thanks to you for making your feelings known. Unfortunately, there are not too many as brave as you!

I get called a Scouser. Most of the time it is in a derogatry way! I loathe the term Scouser to be honest! Funny really, because I don't have any Liverpool blood in me, even though I was born here and have always lived here! Most of the hatred towards the Liverpool people has been because of the press! Untill these people have been here, met the Liverpool people, saw the city and all it's delights, I don't think they are entitled to comment! Yes, there is a bad element here, just like any other inner city in the UK! The way some people talk, you would think only Liverpool had guns and drugs problems. It is not true! 

Peopel can say what they like!  I know I'm a good person regardless of what blood flows through my veins. 

If thine eye offends thee, pluck it out! Wink

Does this mean that we are the only sensible people left on this earth Vera, Sue, Barb, Rick? How come we can see it but others can't, or won't perhaps?
