Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I've been on an equality and diversity training course today. It wasn't bad but I can't say I learned an awful lot, except for how annoying and narrow-minded some people are (but then that isn't much of a surprise either). I won't bore you with all the details, but my favourite moment of the day was when one women said "I don't understand why you can't call someone a Paki- isn't it the same as calling someone Scottish?". Need I say any more?.....

I do hope this wasn't one of your staff (or one of the trainers)! Pretty much representative of Stoke though…

It certainly wasn't one of my staff! I thought the trainer was very cool and collected with her response- I don't think I would have been.
