When I stayed at the hospital with Mum, there was a bloke from Jordan there and he said that he thought as a wife of an arab man, I should wear a veil.

Im afraid that I reserve the right to wear what I like, now my hubby doesnt practise his religion but I have no time for the culture that dictates to me what I wear.

I say live and let live, and where I live, I have had my little dog spat on because the extreme muslims have viewed her as 'unclean'.

I think we all have a degree of what we tolerate or not, whether it be racially or anything else.

I live my life and let others live theirs, but in our area, it can be hard.
I guess this is why this debate rages on time and again on the Forum, many feel that the UK is place that has allowed itself (or the Government has) to not be proud of their own heritage & traditions whilst embracing other cultures.

Being in the minority is not a nice place to be, wherever. You are right about on your own doorstep, e.g. you can travel to North Wales, go to a pub, speak English and they all start speaking Welsh back at ya - even my poor Dad who is Welsh.

Having lived in other countries for a while, I was the minority, even in Australia with the playful teasing of being a "Pommy Bird".

I have also been lucky, whilst I may not have been accepted like a long lost relative, I was treat with respect and I feel that this is because I give it a go to adapt to their cultures, I enjoyed their traditions and festivals, made a crap go at learning the lingo and got myself in the hot water at times

It is a matter of trying to make best of it, I know I have said under my own breath some hurtful comments in the past about certain groups in Soceity but I try to learn from the errors of my ways, I am not perfect, people get up my nose regardless of their colour or background.

Peace to all hey

I think he will

Rob, I certainly don't want to start any wars with my comments, just exercising my ability to free speech as much as you offer your own personal feelings to the board.

Peace

This PC business has killed comedy too . . . . . anyone from the UK see the show about the demise of "Crumpet" in films & TV these days?

It was a funny show and Wendy Richards (Crumpet/Totty from Are you Being Served) said we have become too PC.

So here's to Tittys, Botty's and all those who sail on her
