I have been reading with interest the responses to my origional post. Quite a few are you missing the point completley. It's not that i am prejudice, or have a dislike for ethnic minorities or immigrants to this country. The point i am trying to convey is that the freedom of speech and to be proud of being british is being removed in favour of political correctness and i just wonder how much of our 'british identity and culture' will be eroded before the goverment will notice and see that they are creating racism by there actions to prevent it. In addition i would like to mention i have 'with work' travelled extensivley throughout the world and have formed friendships with people from many different cultures and walks of life. I consider myself lucky to have experiened other cultures and and find it hard to understand why we have to adapt our culture to accomodate people choosing to migrate to Briton.

It seems every which way we turn we are up against political correctness, for instance, we cant say Merry Chritmas anymore, we have to use the term, 'Seasons Greetings', so as not to offend the non christians within our society. The prison Guards who were banned for wearing a tie pin with the Union Jack upon it, so as not to offend prisoners from other countries. Like the nursery rhyme Bar Bar Black Sheep be banned from schools for being 'potentally rasist'.

Is there anyone out there that feels that the British are being forced to give up their heratage and identity in favor of political correctness.

Timo, i've a v good idea who she is, but i couldnt reveal her ID, it would not be fair,

I remember Mrs Kent, (Granny Kent) we knew her by, I often visited her for a chat and a cup of tea, she was a loverly dear old lady. Nice people like Granny Kent will never be forgotten. As for you comments Jeleko, you mention an isolated incident of which I do know about, there are one or two others that could be viewed as errors, but as Timo quite rightly comments that Drs are only human, and as such are capable of error, its unfortunate that when a Dr makes an error he is hung drawn & quartered for it, on the whole Dr Wynne had many more satisfied 'customers' than those who were not. I am not saying that he was perfect, and that he was a model human, I know from personal experience that he wasnt. As for the stories I could tell, having lived with Dr Wynne, (he was my mothers partner for the best part of 15 years), by enlarge are funny, happy stories and sometimes sad and not as I suspect you thought in anyway critical of the way he practaced medicine or conducted his private life. The man has been dead for 12 years now and any stories of a critical nature would be inappropiate.

we would love to come, babysitter permitting, we have just had another baby <boy> he's 5 months. you will have to let me know of some other dates also.

hi caz, its gary clarke i was the drummer, i know you from a couple of years ago one of my sons was in wincobank infants the same time as one of your children. it's a pity really that only the band members remember flywheel, say hi to martin. gary

timo, thanks for your responce, i have many memories of Dr Wynne and stories i could tell. i notice from an earlier posting of yours that you are 43, did you attend school in the wincobank area? if so, you may know my brother David who is around your age, as for me i'm a lttle older.

re: dr peter james wynne, you were right to believe that he originated from southern ireland he actually came from a town called tralee in county kerry he moved to england after studying medicane in dublin. Peter lived with my mother from the early seventies to the mid eighties just before his death, to which they had 4 children eldest now being 31 who followed her fathers footsteps and is now a doctor. anyone remembering my mum Elizabeth Clarke please reply
