Landladies can hang signs in windows - No POMS here Then we can play your game. Frankly, I find your argument spurious to say the least. :confused: Lynne BLOODY WELL SAID LYNNE - can't bloody stand it when people try and draw similarities like this. AAAAGGGGHHHHH :mad: :scared: |

It's now official - in Scotland anyway, that Pom is NOT a racist term:

Should we be taking the wankers and tossers, as Vash so eloquently called them on the other Pom thread, who are campaigning against its use any more seriously now?" What point am I trying to prove?... I must have said this three or four times now, I am NOT offended by being called a Pom. All I said was that the poll on here, hardly representative I know, was coming out at around 1 in 6, now one in 7, are offended by it. Should these 15% of people just be told 'Tough'.... and what happens if that percentage increases over time, to say 25% ? |

I vote this thread should be renamed by the mods:
"Pommie navel-gazing" IMO |
