What you read into something says a lot about the head that's reading it. The real sin is watching Emmerdale in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if it had been the white calling the black monkey no one would have said anything..youre very naive if you believe that.Iknow it meant working for peanuts but the fact is if it had been the other way round a lot of people ,especially on here would have been up in arms and shouting Racist at the top of their voice ,my point was, if you had bothered to read my post without trying to score very cheap points,that surely the script writers could have been a little more careful.

Tell you what son..Link up the episode and timeline the comment. "Monkeys working for peanuts" is just another way of describing cheap labour.

You really have a chip on your shoulder posting rubbish like this. What if what if what if? What if you posted something sensible for a change?
