The police where called to another murder in the corn field ,the detective turned to his team and said " I think we are looking for a cereal killer here . ( sorry it's the only gardening joke I know )
Jokes are often funny to some people but are made at the expense of others - it's good to laugh with people, not at them - that is why one person continually making jokes about the places that some other posters live can be tedious, and can lead to some people feeling that they are being targeted.
'They are jokes, nothing more, nothing less' was the excuse Bernard Manning and those of his ilk used when targeting various groups.
Now that Brumbull knows that some of his jokes are upsetting people, I'm sure he'll try to avoid posting that type of joke - if he continues then it's clear that he either intends to upset people, or doesn't give a damn.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Well said Dove and Verd. I have friends and relatives who send me very funny stuff over the internet. I pass them on, but not if there is the slightest whiff of politics, religion, gender, or is at the expense of particular groups. If it offends , then it can't be a joke, can it.
