I disagree re Kate Moss. She’s incredibly photogenic but also represented a move away from the unachievable barbie doll look of the 80s- which was a good thing surely?

What did your Mum tell her, “I bet you like your food, I see you walking i into Greggs,”

Agreed, but If that’s what that person wanted you to say in a professional work environment it’s hardly worth fighting against.

in reality, you weigh up lots of different sources, do your own research and work it out that way.

If someone wanted me to refer to them as a queer, half caste person in a professional work environment I would flat out refuse because I don’t like either terms.

Not really. Ok, maybe half caste but queer is an acceptable term and is used a lot in mainstream, including the media. Not by me though, because I hate it.

Well that’s up to you, and as you say it’s an acceptably used word anyway.
You’d obviously be stupid to try and fight to use the word half caste in the workplace though.

without using offensive language obviously, I think it’s mostly white people that panic what words they use. Most black people I know don’t care as long as there’s no malice in what you are saying.

I make it easy for myself by not describing anyone by their ethnicity or sexuality.

If anyone mistakenly uses a racist or phobic word and are corrected, they know from then on to not use it. If they continue to use it they must not mind being branded racist or one of the phobics. I don’t know where any confusion comes from.

I don’t know if this is gossip or whatnot, but the Firth version of “Pride and Prejudice” I think EVERY daughter, or all but one of the Bennetts was the daughter of a successful actors/thesps! RichardBriars daughter, and Jasper Carrots daughter, I remember those two, but am sure there were others.

But that’s the point that was being made in the first place. I’m mid 30s but the two words mentioned when I were younger have “swapped” in acceptability, half caste was acceptable and queer was insulting. If someone asked me to call them queer I’d say no. Anyway I’ll drop it now and hopefully we can get back to sleb goss

She moved it away to super skinny heroin chic, which is achieveable, but only through starvation and copious use of cocaine and heroin. The supermodels of the 80's like Cindy Crawford etc had far more healthy looking figures. None of them were Barbie dolls. They had hips and boobs for a start.

Wrestling is the most gossiped about industry. Throw me out any names you want info on and I guarantee I know something.

The (sadly) late Pat Roach. I know it's a long shot that you might remember him or have tea, but he's always been my biggest crush so just thought I'd chance it! X

Is she Imelda Staunton's daughter? Sally from Coronation Streets daughter is in it too, although to be fair, Im not sure how much clout a soap actress would have with Netflix! I think it must also be something about drama school being so expensive and difficult to get into, you need connections and money.
