Point taken

But isn't that possibly more just being a bit of a knob rather than necessarily out and out racism? I've met people who say the same about Welsh people, Brummies, Geordies, Londoners etc etc.

I've said exactly that to an Ipswich supporter I got chatting to once! Nice fella.

    - 'what-aboutery' (General Chat) - Captain Bligh, Oct 29, 09:23:59
