For the record I'm brown and clearly not British born.

For the record I'm white and very much born here.

That sort of bs appalls me op. I would drop them like a stone and block all further communication with them.

feelingbleh · 22/05/2025 19:20

Yeah I hate stuff like this

TarnishedMoonstone · 22/05/2025 19:21

I’m as white as they come, all ancestors born here forever as far as I know, and I wouldn’t use them for anything.

stayathomegardener · 22/05/2025 19:23

No I absolutely would not, only partly on the basis they clearly have no common sense to publicly post where clients can read it. Fools.

PosiePerkinPootleFlump · 22/05/2025 19:24

I am white and born in the UK and would have nothing to do with them

Jc2001 · 22/05/2025 19:26

Definite no no.

goody2shooz · 22/05/2025 19:30

Wouldnt let her anywhere near me . Feel unclean looking at crap like that. Block block blockitty block on everything.

TennisLady · 22/05/2025 19:31

Bloody hell, absolutely not.

ThreePointOneFourOneFiveNine · 22/05/2025 19:32

I’m white and wouldn’t use the services of someone being openly racist like that.

FastFood · 22/05/2025 19:32

I wouldn't even want them to touch my wheely bins.

Callie247 · 22/05/2025 19:32

Perhaps message and gently remind them that St George who's flag they so proudly display was actually born in Turkey before you block them 😂

yeesh · 22/05/2025 19:33

Fuck no

Bezzi · 22/05/2025 19:37

I would not associate with this person in any way. I certainly wouldn’t line their pockets with my money. Horrible

ButteryLightHouse · 22/05/2025 19:57

They are disgusting. No way would I give them my money. I hope their business fails

ruethewhirl · 22/05/2025 20:00

No way would someone posting that get my business.

LuvACustardCream · 22/05/2025 20:00

I'm white as milk, mix of English, Irish and Scots. I wouldn't hold a door open for that sort of person. Vile opinion that.

Oddsocksanduglyshoes · 22/05/2025 20:01

Definitely a hard no

Crikeyalmighty · 22/05/2025 20:03

Absolutely not . Nor would I book them for any jobs on my house either posting this kind of twaddle if I was aware of it .

uuuuu · 22/05/2025 20:04

You would be crazy to let this person anywhere near your house/pets.

CalmTheFuckDownMargaret · 22/05/2025 20:05

I’m white and I’m disgusted by it. Absolutely not.

MorrisseysMisery · 22/05/2025 20:09

Complete knuckle dragging ignorance.
They embarrass me as a white woman.
I would not allow her to feed a bloody goldfish.

Shetlands · 22/05/2025 20:10

I'm white (and so are my dogs!) and we wouldn't have a racist in our house, let alone pay them for anything.

ACynicalDad · 22/05/2025 20:12

I'm white and right of centre, but hell this is grim.

Jc2001 · 22/05/2025 20:14

Callie247 · 22/05/2025 19:32

Perhaps message and gently remind them that St George who's flag they so proudly display was actually born in Turkey before you block them 😂

I wouldn't engage with them at all.

Done2much · 22/05/2025 20:19

wouldn't be associated with them and would block and blank them

(also white btw)
