Re: Rule Britannia
The first coloured gentleman I knew of in Hebburn was known as Darkie John who lived down the Quay, no offence was intended, also as a young teenager my mam had a coloured gentleman who used to come each week for his ‘Tick’ money, I always used to shout, “Mam, the darkies here” again no offence was intended or taken but now, quite rightly such names should not be used.
