It is quite alright, I certainly didn't wish to offend. If you look at speyducers link to the speypages there is an article on political correctness, I think the posting is just someone being silly but the link has promise as an amusing discussion topic.

I have to state my amusement and astonishment that members seem to have taken offense at my remark "BB land". "BBland" is a term used to describe a hypothetical place where goods of shoddy quality are produced. Had I actually mentioned a particular country then I am sure the said country's department of trade and trade association would have had plenty to say. If anyone found that remark in any way offensive then I apologise, there was no intent to offend anyone, but I am not deleting it (unless the management say otherwise!) because it is an amusing and commonly used/understood term. This term is associated with racist slurs of the past and cannot be allowed on here. I appreciate your plea of innocence but must insist that it is amended. salmo

Dear salmo,
I disagree about its use but will amend it. (Can you remove it from quotes?)
Regards
