Been at work meals where one half f the table won't talk to the other as they came from different areas.
The problem is people see some people as saints and don't realise things are a lot more complex. I doubt most people would like Churchill or Disreali but they were great men for a single side of their life.
Strangely enough was chatting with a chap from Pune last week who hated Ghandi, Nero & Mountbatten for not sorting out India. I did apologise for Mountbatten but pointed out he didn't have much of a chance.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

I went to an International school for a few years when we lived in Thailand in the 1970's, you should have seen the mix there.
In fact, I seem to recall, I was the only English kid in my class.
When I came back to the UK, it was a real contrast as 95% of the kids in my school were white English.The Chunt of Chunts.Comment
