I dunno, maybe some people do. I'm very Northern, and I never really heard anyone say that. Maybe it's more a specific town/city than everywhere North of London.

You can never admit you overstepped the mark, can you? Poor misunderstood RC, no one gets his jokes and that's everyone elses fault.

Let's all try and remember that in future. 
I think that contemporary London-dwellers live a rather insulated life: I live on the south coast in a conurbation which seems to be in a 1950s time warp, as regards the language used to describe non-'anglo-saxon' people. I can't stand it and have got into many an altercation about such things. Consequently, I'm becoming more and more of a recluse, as my neighbours from hell gather outside my window, shouting.
Yes, really.
EDIT: Have just realised that this is the "Who do you fancy?" thread. Eh?

It's not just where you live, but all over Britain and Ireland based on my personal experiences. With London, we've had centuries of constantly changing ethnic communities living in the city.
But in towns and villages that have been predominantly white since the Middle Ages, this rapid influx of immigrants over the last two decades has put them in a highly defensive and xenophobic posture.

You'd have to be a mad racist not to want to get with that.

Yes, yes, but do they have a nice pair of norks?
Edit: Ah. Rihanna. Better.

Nothing racist about this just 'who do you fancy'.
And I have to say, I wouldn't with yours never mind mine.
And I'm certainly not in a position to be choosy !

So you're turning down Rihanna (you mad racist!) for the old lady from The Royle Family?

To be fair, that's Penelope Wilton rather than Sue Johnston, RC.
But I'd plump for Rihanna over both.

I bet your plumping over her as we speak. 
Although if Penelope Wilton blacked up that would be tickety-boo
