[QUOTE=roscoes;16526]Onya Tmac 1720 and Geoff,
I fully endorse your comments and #10 Lakercapt too.
If my memory serves me right there was a shoe polish named Nigger Brown, and I think it was Robinsons Jam jar labels that had the 'Golly Wogs' on them.
Quite true. Nigger Brown was an official colour in the leather goods trade. Robertson made the jam, Robinson made barley water. You ate Robertson's when you were well, and drank Robinson's when you were poorly. Robertson's preserves were great to mix up in a bowl of rice pudding. All sorts of colours could be created.
