Just an observation, i wonder whether this has nothing to do with Race but is a social thing in that we come into contact with "dirt" and are deemed dirty because of this, in my opinion it is still not a valid reason to behave rudely but could be another explanation

james i am not offended i said i found the statement offensive and i was'nt having a pop at you , i know what you meant which is why i went on to say what i did about scouse and london accents,  (that too could be seen as an offensive statement if taken in the wrong context)  the majority of the inhabitants of these two wonderful cities are probably nice people (as are us welsh "boyo") but where i come from there would be an immediate mistrust of say a builder or other such service providers with these accents especially if cash is involved, oh and i forgot irish as well because we have loads of travellers here and they are really clever at scamming sign written vans phone numbers etc. we also have a large asian community and i do not know of many tradesmen willing to do business with them in fact in my experience they are only able to get the cowboys and hobblers to work for them.

define a hobbler  -  someone who works on the side cheaply whilst signing on the dole

lads i have to say i have no problems what so ever & i always make sure i empty my waste tank after i've been paid   ;)

- it doesn't matter what part of the world they are from people will always look to try it on if you let them or give them the impression they can - maybe it's because i'm 16st skinhead ( not by choice) big softie though  - but dont tell anyone
