So I was paying for my shopping in Morrisons this week and DD was with me with Robert, her black dolly. On taking the money the assistant looked at me and did one of those stage whisper kind of things, you know when they whisper quite loudly, really emphasising the words with overly full on mouth movements, and said "I'm not being racious or anything" and yes, she really did say Racious, not racist, "but I thought they they'd banned them now", pointing at Robert!!! Bit of an open mouthed look from me and she said "yes, I thought they'd banned black dolls these days".
I could only muster up a weak "no, I don't think so", before wandering off, shaking my head in disbelief
