I have this african family i clean in charlton who have about 7 kids and all i here whenever im there is "mummy, there is a white man in the garden!" Or "mummy theres a white man at the door". I dont know weather to take it as rudeness or not but it does make me laugh. If i was to shout to my gf on the phone while doing there backs "lisa im doing the black mans house" im sure they would have something to say back to me lol. had them for 2 years and are loyal payers so cant grumble.

I wonder where the kids picked up on that..................school perhaps, or church, or sports club..............

Or their parents?

Kids, no matter what race, say stupid things all the time. I'm sure black people hear that kind of thing from children every day.

Mick,

Its not rudeness at all. In my African experience it's the way that the races work and live together. If they haven't been here that long then it is still perhaps strange to see a white man working in the black community or for a black household as it was unusual overseas. 

Describing someone by the colour of their skin wasn't classed as rude. Black people were quite happy to be called blacks as were we whites. Everyone who was neither black nor white was called a coloured. The asian community hates being called coloured though.

I once saw an English kid (a soldier's brat) shouting "Achtung Spitfire" at the top of his lungs in a German supermarket.

Full respect mate, but this is UK they're talking about.

Just kids saying what they see. The absolute innocence is what makes this so great.

If everyone spoke in such simple and honest terms and avoided all the usual pc diatribe, then I'm pretty sure the Country and the World would be a better place.
