My mum decided to let my wife in on the reason for social problems in the area...the very same ethnic and professional group my wife belongs to! She then went on to compound the matter by saying "Not you of course Mrs Number 5 but the rest of your lot" . Not just a bigot but a drunk bigot , eh Mum?

Irish cops? Pakistani cab drivers? Polish prostitutes? Japanese sushi makers? French pastry chefs? German nannies? Somalian basket weavers?
What could your wife be that would so upset your mum?

One of my mothers friends once said to her 'Aren't you disappointed that your son married a black girl?'.
Not that I think any of us would have had any problem if she was black, but her colour is about the same as a white person just back from a week in Spain.
Credit to my mother, she asked her friend to get a grip and never spoke to her again.

One day he started off on the racist rant. I asked "What would you do if your daughter started going out with a black guy?" his response was "She would know better than to do that" I never spoke to him again.
