Cheeky little git...

Your thoughts...!

I sub-contract for a builder mate and he told me a funny story this week..!

One of his workmen was doing some council work in an asian's house last week.This involved floor tiling, so the guy was on his hands and knees busy working away.
He received a slap on his back by the youngest asian son aged 8 followed by this comment,
"when are you going to start respecting us muslims" and then "you should be on your knees praying to allah"

coming from an 8 year olds mouth....!!!!

Wonder where he heard that comment to repeat...!?

Anyway the workman collected up his tools and left, refuses to go back and I don't blame him.

He says he wants a public apology...

Council meeting was today but haven't spoken to mate to see what the outcome was.

I think he over-reacted a bit to an 8 year old kid.

I remember a reaction to a teddy with a significant name... which was thought of by most of the world to be a tad OTT

Indeed...

...with the handy use of a nail gun and some 4" x 2" he could have given the little chap a brief introduction to Christianity

Me, whatever odds you want....currently stuck in frankfurt and its just turned midnight.

I'm not sure about a public apology - a bit OTT

That said, it begs the question where an 8 year old gets that kind of banter from.

I'm sure it would be the same if a Muslim workman went into a BNP home.

Having been previously married to an Asian, prejudice goes both ways. Whether it’s right or wrong, it’s a fact of life.

Good grief! They're tiling council kitchen floors now - what is wrong with good old fashioned sawdust?

Boy, never would have said anything like that when I was a kid. His parents need to start teaching him properly! He can only soak in what the parents/ elder relatives say. My parents always went by the whole 'respect your elders no matter who they are' phrase. Wonder what bush they are from? Hope it's not near mine.

NO.... how about a full 32K extension including new kitchen and ALL appliances plus a new shower room downstairs.
Done because the eldest woman in the house who is not of British origin can't walk unaided...

Was it a council contract or was the Man of the house a cabbie?

I'm shocked my son is 8 and all he says to me is that I'm a bum feeler and a gayer

Well, you're entitled to your opinion but nonetheless he is only eight and will be repeating what he's heard from others.

I'd say it's money well spent, as am sure it would cost a lot more to re-home in an old-folks home. Plus improvement of council stock.

The only time I've heard the word "paki" used on the streets of Luton in a racist way was from the mouth of an Indian.

YES to both....
