The N word was used widely as a name for chocolate brown Labrador dogs up to the early 60s. My uncle had one. Today it is simply unthinkable. A different era. Don't even think about the W word that rhymes with Mog...  This isn't quite so amusing nowadays. Golly!! How did they get away with it? It wasn't that long ago that repeats of Alf Garnet were on TV with Till Death us do part. I used to cringe at it.

A gorgeous car though! My parents were very tolerant and taught us to be so, but my grandfather who had served during WW1 in Africa was extremely racist. Luckily he lived in Cornwall so very rarely had to voice his views!
I noticed in a recent Dambusters drama that Guy Gibsons dog was rather overlooked.

Former Morgan owner. Gone but hopefully not forgotten!
