Brilliant typo!!!
Good God, you dare not fart now just in case someone reports you to the dep of health.

I've no idea what you mean, TWR.

Gollies of all sizes and forms - dolls, badges, ornaments, etc - are still sold in the UK. They are not banned, and a good thing, too, because everyone knows gollies are teddies best friends
Sry TWR....didnt mean to offend you. My offence is far worse than your typo but alas I cant delete it.

TWR I thought you were from Lancashire?

Anyway - have you ever known a Welshman tied up and beaten whilst having sheepsh****r yelled at them.

Do you know of generations of welsh who were stolen from their homeland and placed in servitude?

Do you know of any welsh that have dolls that have become a but of jokes and been hurled abuse at day after day?

As I stated earlier, it is how the name is used.
You decide on this Islay, I delivered a load to a sheffield warehouse, the person there was black, he kept calling me a sheep sh-----er I took kit with a pince of salt, he then said something I did not here so i said, speak bloody English will you, when I returned for my 2nd Load to the same place I was Told I was BANNED, RACIST.
I've just re-read your post Islay & you seem to have one hell of a chip on you shoulder, the days of slave ships have gone, you can not erase history, but a lot off them ship have have done well over the years.
Lucky golly, rescued from skip

You have many, many chips on your shoulder TWR. Shame there's no salt and vinegar to go with them!
You'll know.
You should have telt the boss what was said to you. If you couldn't hear what he was saying at one point, why not ask him to speak louder rather than to speak English?
Some dont know the meaning of snitch, TWR. Theyre everywhere
The C. If you can not take it, don't give it.

/// Anyone Still Thinks That Gollies Are Racist?

Yes. ///

That is interesting if not expected, but please explain to us why?

For starters to be racist a person has to believe that a particular race is superior to another, so how can that be aligned with a particular style of doll?

If you are coming from the over exaggerated facial features, then yes rather insulting but never racist, and it is done all the time, just look at some of the over exaggerated portrayals of such persons as Donald Trump and Boris Johnson, all in the name of satire.
