Went into a sort of junk/antique shop today at lunch, partly just to fill a bored lunchtime and partly to escape the drizzle. I mean, it was pure chance that I had my wallet on me at all. Anyway, I was looking around the various cabinets and displays on show appreciating certain items and dismissing others when I came across a set of Golliwog pin-badges.
"Ooh" says I, "I remember them"
And then I saw it. I was caught hook, line and sinker. Totally amazed at the fact that I'd found the Golly pin badge that I'd wanted when I was younger  Stupid really. So I bought it.

LOL, nice find.
I had a few of those when I was younger, never got the motorcycle one though  , it was marmalade they came with wasn't it? I've still got a knitted golliwog somewhere that my nan made for me.

I had an inflatable golly, got from the tokens. He got swept out to sea one day, never to be seen again.  |

Racist I tells you, its all racist. I'm surprised the it isn't the symbol/logo for the BNP as they are racist too. 
I used to have (probably still do at home) a proper material gollywog, not knitted etc. Had a couple of the badges but not many.
Political correctness, you can blow that out your arse as far as I'm concerned. It is a fucking black board, it is a gollywog etc.

No, you're wrong.
It is a coloured message board for use with chalk.....
Did you know that children aren't allowed to sing "baa baa black sheep" at nursery any more because it's politically incorrect?

I think nans get more left over black wool than they do teddy bear brown from all the school uniforms they have to knit. Hence golly wogs. Or maybe it was a free pattern in "Knitting Pleasure" back in the 50s

I remembered last night that I also had a gollywog doll - he wasn't knitted, he was made out of fabric and had tartan trousers, a green and white checked shirt, red bow tie and a very dapper green tailcoat that later graced my Gordon the Gopher.  |

Sounds similar to mine.

I believe they are called WIPE boards - its all arse wipe to me though, its black, its a black board. Why the hell that should offend someone is beyond me.
| Quote: | so ... is it politically incorrect to call a white board a white board if its 'wrong' to call a black board a black board? |
Correct, however in my line of thinking its white so its a white board. Oh no, your discriminating that board as its white/black/pink/indigo fucking poker dotted.
FFS I'm white (well more pinky), Ainsly (the cook) is black, mystique ladies are milky brown, Gandi was mucky, chairman Mao yellow and fucking martians are green. People want to stop been so soft.
Right I'm off for a lie down before I kill someone.

Hex is correct. 'Blackboards' are now known as chalkboards. 'Whiteboards' are referred to as wipeboards. If you think that is crazy then you should hear the other PC madness that is happening in our schools

I can't even say how incredibly stupid and pointless i think political correctness is, because people would call me a racist facist sexist vegitarianist whatever. Weird how political correctness is enforced, and yet anyone who isn't politically correct suddenly gets a load of none politically correct verbal back eh? Soon we'll find ourselves getting shouted at for talking about blackbirds or bluetits (no tit jokes please)!!!

I'm incredibly angry that they would even think about calling a bird such an offensive and blatently racist name such as 'blackbird' but I'm even more angry at you for saying it
Discrimination I tell you
