I find the use of the term 'pikey' offensive and would prefer that you didn't use it. I am guessing that you are ignorant of its derivation and the minority group it belittles. Have a thought for others mate....
Any chance of guidelines on derogatory terms, Hosty? I am guessing that you wouldn't allow the N-word to describe a certain minority group or the Q-word another. Why allow 'pikey' to slip through.
TROLL SAYS I`ve edited the original sender. Kevin however is quoting the author and questioning the validity of said authors terminology/sentiment/etc. Not edited Kevin as he is simply reporting the issue to the subscribers. Thankee koindly.
