Your post was reported by several people for casual racism. This is how your peers view you. Your kind of humour belongs back in the Seventies, and even then it was shit.

Why did you remove my response to your Post? There was nothing offensive in that! Or are you just trying to be seen to Bow to peer pressure from the Lily White Snowflakes

Sorry, it was Mephistopheles who did all the work. He operated on his own bat without my permission. This is what happens when you give subordinates too much power. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
