tbf I expect most posters of a certain vintage had one or more racist grandparents. It’s more how that racism manifested itself that’s more telling. Saying that about your own grandkids is reprehensible.

Yep. As they say, you can choose your friends but not your relatives.
Back in the 60's/70's phrases like that were sadly quite commonplace. There was a sitcom called 'Love Thy Neighbour' and the white protagonist was always using what we'd now call offensive words to describe his black neighbour.

I've always found Rudolph Walker so watchable. Very under-rated actor.

Yep, Peter Howitt ( Joey ) was living in Stockport , Jonathan Morris ( Adrian) was born and bread in Congleton and Nick Campbell (Stage name Conway as some other guy got there first) Billy was from Cheadle Hulme.Really, I know Peter Howitt is one of em, who were the others.
Me and Rascal grew up with Nick and we are all still good mates now.

Ahh, that was his name. Yes, you're right, very underrated. Was he in EastEnders for a while, too? I never watch soaps but I'm sure he was. And who was the other chap, Jack Smethurst or something?
Christ...there was some shit on tv years ago - a trend that continues to this very day.

True, but you'd have thought having mixed race grandkids would've forced you to make the generational leap and moderate your language.Yep. As they say, you can choose your friends but not your relatives.

He was in the Thin blue line with Rowan Atkinson too, he was quite funnynun it.
Just read this about the 1990/91 season - just showing that they've always been desperate to give Liverpool the title.
