    But it's as easy to say a Chinese rather than run the risk of being offensive now that you know, surely?

    Yes Helen. I was recounting the thing that Hooky was referring to happening to me in real life but not behind closed doors. It wouldn't happen again for sheer embarrassment as much as anything else.

    I lived just outside for a year in the early 90s (actually Abingdon), and spent some great nights in the pubs/clubs of Oxford. Lots of very rich people in the surrounding area, lots of poorer people in the Cowley, Blackburn Leys, and other areas - 10 of the 83 areas are in the 20% poorest in the UK and 29% of children live below the poverty line.

    It's amazing how a fictional interpretation of a place can stick. You learn something new everyday.

    Only a fool would believe Racism is on the decline, especially round here. Dress Brexit up any way you like, but that was it's strongest draw for people, the whole stop the foreigners coming ******.
