Are we not allowed to be offended?
48 Answers
In the week when certain members of the Royal family stand accused of causing offence to a couple of our ethnic minorities, a story such as this appears.

Yet does this hit the headlines? no.
Do our politicians make any comments? No.
I am getting rather sick of this one sided approach regarding the act of causing an offence.
This is what offends me, but does anyone do anything about it? No.
The fact that the indigenous population of these isles are the only ones that must constantly stand accused of causing some offence to peoples who are, or who's parents/grandparents are not native of these shores.
The ever increasing building of Mosques, that is slowing turning our once 'green and pleasant land' into a landscape more befitting the middle east.
Seeing that our Queen is the head of the church of England, perhaps now she should be able to retaliate and state that she is offended by this story.

The one I saw was where the couple ran the country house as a retirement home. I remarked to Mr LL how dreadful the woman was. She was being extremely rude and offensive to a lovely, caring couple. Horrible, hard faced woman.
(We can't go on meeting like this on this thread :o) - Have you posted anything yet in the Tele Section?)

yes, that is an Australian email (it may have come from the USA even before that, I don't know). I've seen it before.
I am deeply offended by people smuggling in Australian emails to take work away from our own sturdy British emails. Our once green and pleasant land is starting to look like the Nullarbor*. Zacsmaster, explain yourself!
*Nullarbor - not an aboriginal word; it's Latin for 'no trees'. Aborigines are deeply offended by the importing of ancient Roman words. Etc.
