What offence ?? "Concise Oxford English Dictionary" 11th edition revised 2008
purdah: 1. the practice in certain Muslim & Hindu societies of screening women from men or strangers by means of a curtain or all-enveloping clothes. 2. a curtain used in this way.

Where is the offensive word/comment/statement in that ? The PC clowns really do have a lot to answer too when someone like Gayle thinks she should be apologising for a perceived giving of offence due to using an ethnic word. Carry on as normal I say, & should someone feel offended, get on with it as there are no doubt things you do that offend me & others like me but we suck it up & live with it.

Remember free Country, free speech or it was the last time I looked, if you don't like it take it somewhere else & see how you get on there !!!

You chose to come to UK you weren't made to come, please accept our ways & should you not like them go back to where you were happy.
