Hi all,
My brother came to visit as I was taking some pics of my BHPs on my BLACK BOY. He told me you cant call them Black Boys anymore, its not PC, they are Grass Trees.
I say I dont care about being PC Ive always called them Black Boys and always will.
So what do you think Black Boy? Or Grass Tree?

Also I agree with RBB, golliwogs NOT scalliwags!
'Fairy' penguin, NOT little penguin.
And you know the actual dolls called golliwogs, I noticed they are now just called 'gollys'. Thats worse! Makes me think of snot! |

You cant use the word black for anything

the English language...
