Thank you for the welcomes. Janet too. now Ken do you really think what Emma said was a visious attack? I know places where he wouldt have got out of intact saying things like that. I think visious attacks are much harsher then that, bein call a bag of dung (she even used polite talk) is mild, i recon I have been visiously attacked in the past and was left with scars. Maybe its sheltered life thing. I don't know about shades of grey, but i do know about shades of brown thats the colour of us in between. Emmas posts look well thoughy about mostly, even when after getting alot of stick, maybe she wanted to speak plainly.

Perhaps you were, but you used the term 'blacks' being a travelling salesman around some African countries doest mean that you are qualified to make comments about black people generally. like I sold door to door around the north of England in the 50s but I don't make statements about all 'whites'. you ask for the angry comments.

You have prompted me to register too. I didn't even look at the 'non fishing bit' until recently. i have been looking back throu it you have had some dingdongs. bit ofa double standard goin on in this section. the moderated out comment mild compared with some of the things said in here. Decent folk can see whats happening. Sorry in a way to come in here withcontrversy but sometimes thats what it takes to get the nomlly silent ones out. How could a black person not be offended, from Africa or anywhere else? Now I have taken the step of regerstration I hope to be able to contribute often.
