Were they coloured or pure black golliwogs?

Alf Garnet, now he didn't play with words

's right, Stewart! 'Till Death Do Us Part'.

Alf Garnet was played by Warren Mitchell, the "old moo" by Dandy Nicholls, their daughter by Una Stubbs ... and last - but not least - the layabout son-in-law by Tony Booth - whose real life daughter later became the wife of our [then] future Prime Minister.

Alf Garnet, now he didn't play with words

Spot-on once again! Alf certainly didn't mince his words. ... he was a staunch Royalist as I recall - had a picture of HM hung up in his living room - was an ardent Conservative supporter and, in many ways, represented a true embodiment of what Imperialist used to be like.

Hello All.

I worked for a well-known Children's Charity for years and on one training day one of the tutors split us up into 4 groups and gave us all a bag of 'labels' that have been put on people over the years. You had to put the 'labels' into groups of acceptable and non acceptable. It was amazing how many people got things wrong. Labels like 'Spastic' and 'Mongol' some people were happy to put into the acceptable pile. It was really quite surprising.

Oh gollywogs! That's 4 of us said "Nignog" now

I used to collect the paper gollywogs on jam jars, then send off for the gollywog badges

As did my (now deceased) fiancee, who was half-Jamaican. She would always laugh off 'racist' stuff, and said that a lot of the Carribbean community in the UK walked around with big chips on their shoulders, and that many of the men had a bad attitude, especially towards women.

I heard on the news the other day that a celebrity (can't remember his name) was accused of a sexist comment for saying on air he had "man-flu".
