Re: Taking the Knee on F1

Sorry but I do not understand why people do it. I think the 'black to basics' thingy has gone too far. Cosmetics maker decided to delete reference to 'whitening' from it's ads? and the phrase 'nitty-gritty' to be discouraged because it originally referred to the excrement left in the slave ships. My new credit card change of terms was entitled 'Now the Nitty Gritty' I bet they had no idea where the phrase come from.
New one on me. I feel we should ask Cadbury's to rename 'Black Magic' chocolates??

Re: Taking the Knee on F1

I understand from the ‘media’ that estate agents are now removing the word, ‘Master’ from the phrase, ‘master bedroom’

Black holes and pudding could be at risk too

You could ask, David, but I doubt they would do it - as they don't make them!

Re: Taking the Knee on F1

"Take the knee" is a ridiculous phrase anyway - whose knee do we take? and where do we take it?

If they mean "bend the knee" then say so properly.

I still won't do it!

And New Zealand will need to find a new name for their rugby team.
