Only because the "stereotypical Englishman" jokes tend to break down into stereotypical Geordie, Scouser, Posh Bird, Upper-Class Bloke, Working Man, Chav, Essex Girl, West Country Yokel etc etc etc...

Yes, should I be Politically Correct and refrain from doing so? If so, should Chris Rock stop telling Nigger jokes? Should Rabbi Jackie Mason stop telling Jewish jokes? Should gays I know stop telling Queer jokes? Have you never told an Irish joke yourself? Or is it that *you* are allowed to because "I'm one of them..."? Have you *never* laughed at *any* stereotype-based joke because they're all offensive, or is it only ones that you find personally offensive?
Quote:Very brave man behind a keyboard Grahamm. Tell an Irish joke to my face if we ever meet at a Foc-U gathering, and I'll show you exactly how much of a sense of humour I have about this subject.
So because you don't like a joke, you're apparently threatening someone with physical violence?
My mistake, you clearly have a balanced personality: A chip on *BOTH* shoulders!
