Just a typical naff Children's BBC television joke. Remember, this was still the time when Crackerjack was popular!!

I'm not racist and would never call anyone by this term because I'm aware it is deemed offensive. My opinion is it shouldn't be.

Basically a term for nearly every country in the world. Whether it be shortened or slang. Even terms for parts of a country like brummie being Birmingham. To summarise, a shortened term of the country which by definition of the meaning should not be racist. By the way, this is my view and opinion on what I hope i
Those were the days, eh? A joke is a joke is a joke.

I didn't say that the above clip was the start of the end of the show. I said that political correctness was.
