    For what its worth Airborn Pie I agree with you.

    If someone called a black man 'Sooty' because he had a slightly darker than average skin colour came to the UK from Africa and believed in witch craft they would be branded racist. However Gammon is at least culturally acceptable it seems despite it just like my example above referring to a certain underclass of person with certain beliefs. Like you I am not offended by it but I dont think Sooty is offensive either. It's just a comedy name for a class of person in the same way Gammon is. Plenty would say I am a philistine though!

    You said it's a term that some people consider to be offensive, you seem to have a problem with it so I presumed you were offended.

    You said you weren't so in the last post I didn't mention you being offended, hence your "I don't know how many times" makes no sense at all.

    The term 'gammon' is linked to the unhealthy pink skin tone of such stout yeomen, probably because of high blood pressure caused by decades of 'PC gone mad', being defeated in arguments about the non-existent merits of Brexit and women getting the vote.

    Gammon often make their appearance on BBC's Question Time jabbing their porcine fingers at the camera while demanding immediate nuclear strikes against Remain-voting areas, people who eat vegetables and/or cyclists.
    If you want a visual interpretation of 'Gammon', just have a look at the Baby Trump balloon!

    Orange gammon, surely they're mocking his fake tan?

    Ha ha ha call my best mate who's black sooty and see what he does. If you don't think that's racist then you're an idiot.

    It was common in the 60's and 70's to have black people nicknamed 'chalky', it was not intended as an insult, in fact, in my day, the assignation of a nickname, was usually a term of endearment.

    Can you call someone who is a redhead Ginger , or is that homophobic ?

    Should Greg Dyke change his name to Greg Ditch to avoid offence to Ellen Degeneres ?
