...about a postman being sacked for mimicking a asian accent!!!!!!
I did a Brummie accent in the vets last night - what will become of me?
Would this mean that everyone that rips me at work I could get them sacked? This is setting a bad example and could lead to more getting lost through thisand through shear spite.
I was at a taxi rank and a group of drivers (all Asian), were extracting the whatsit from another taxi driver, (also Asian), they were all putting on heavy accents and laughing, when I was being taken home the driver was speaking with a lancashire accent so I asked him what had been going on, he told me that the other bloke had only just arrived from pakistan and they had been making fun of his accent and his habits.
So is it alright for these men to make fun of each other or should the taxi drivers all be sacked?

That doesn't really work in print, unless you're old enough to remember Mind Your Languae and It Ain't Half Hot Mum.

Maybe the race card was played hence his sacking. As for the taxi drivers they could suffer the same fate if they were born in England they are English. The target drive was born in Pakistan so they are being racist.
Was it just the accent or what he said in that accent which led to him being sacked?
Some friends of ours have done - they move in a few weeks.
No need to move, just keep your sense of humour and fight against those that have lost theirs!
So, it does sound like there was more to it than the mimicking because the other guy didn't get sacked and the guy who did get sacked had said he would refuse to speak to his Asian colleagues.
