black gas fitters

Anybody seen the British gas advert where a rastafarian gas fitter is showing a wummin how her new boiler works....is this true to life....or the usual woke bullshit adverts we are suffering these days ? ....


A few months ago I posted about something similar to do with the failure rate of black students on an electricians course.

See it here:

It's clever how you manage to combine racism AND sexism in so few words!

Is reporting a true fact racism then?

Bill

No more than calling Tweedle Dum would be.

Why would anyone mention such a thing on here if not racist?

I was just going to ask what black gas was.

There is a very helpful black bald Virgin engineer around here who seems pretty competent, so why not gas.

Don't really get the question. Brian

Racial agitators see racism everywhere.

Rather than understand why black students regularly score badly on academic tests and how they can do better, racial agitators prefer to cast insults for noticing this difference.

"... the usual woke bullshit adverts we are suffering these days ..."

So, just how severe is all this suffering? Perhaps, it's worse for racists?

don't know but there are metal filings found in the Scottish west coast gas supply but none are found in the east coast supply..

that will be it ....tee hee

So we have had 2 black apprentices.

The reason one did so badly at college was simple. He was as thick as f*ck. Never passed his Maths or English GCSE or whatever s**te they sit these days.

The other one was fine. Passed with flying colours.

Now I find it amusing when a customer tells me about which apprentice/electrician did the first fix, they have forgotten his name and try to describe him without using the word black. But they would have no problem using the words bald, old or overweight if if it was one of the experienced electricians that had done the work.

The word "suffer" has more than one meaning.

One of them is that word is a synonym for "tolerate".

perhaps the east coast has gone over to plsstic distribution pipes

It isn't about race at all. It's about the media trying to brainwash us.

Bill

If you'd done the work I wonder what words they would use to describe you? All I know is that words that have been used to describe me have not been flattering.

Bill

Didn't there used to be black iron gas pipe ?. Maybe that was for black gas.

In future we are going to have green gas and blue gas.

David Attenborough is presenting the Green Planet on BBC1 this week and the next 4. We have had Blue Planet, so that leaves Red Planet which I presume will have to be filmed on Mars :-)

Andrew

Or their metal filings have turned to rust which I believe used to be a problem with the old gas pipes used for gas lighting ?.

Andrew

you could argue that "words fail me" is not unflattering :)
