free speech for all


jokes about Yorkshire men abound, I take them as a compliment, there only one thing worse than been talked about. etc


Racism in my mind would be something darker than the comments above. I hold no love for racist comments at all,

It can be hard to to differentiate between jokes and offensive comments especially in a forum. I tend to assume they are jokes on first read At work

As light hearted as this may be intended, is there not a moderator to remove such racist comments?


Racist? No

Factual? Yes. BMW supplied engines to the Luftwaffe (that's why their badge is a propeller!), as Porsche made tank turrets, as Hugo Boss designed and supplied those SS uniforms.

It's all a long time ago and really not worth getting ones knickers in a twirl.

thing is, if there was another war, I think the luftwaffe would be on our side and we'd cheer them on. At work

Didn't realise I would ruffle so many feathers with those Three letters!! Obviously a 120d and Freelander are two completely different beasts. I like this forum for its light hearted banter just hope it was an April fool about racist comment!!!

Rolling with laughter Lol.If only you knew what the germans say about the Brits. All good fun.

To be honest I was well chuffed when my German Boss compared a Land Rover to a Spitfire .Mind you his daughter did marry a British Officer a few years ago. Razz

"British and made to upset us arrogant Germans.Rather like the RAF spitfire against our 109,s " (They were his exact words) Audi,Merc,VW,Porsche,BMW and Opel.When it comes to going 4x4 they are all limited.(about 2 inches of snow or mud). Wink
