No it wasn't, look up where the word woke was initially used. It's lazy journalism, like staycation means not going abroad on holiday, it's not fact. Woke wasn't first used in Harlem, New York either. It's all out there, you just need to dig a bit deeper to get to the bottom of it.

That’s your opinion Eggy and one you seem to have gained from what the MSM tells you to believe. 
 

I know you occasionally venture over to Europe and perhaps you venture further afield, but your POV seems to be constantly what you read about in the news….

I’m afraid I’m not woke enough to know where the term originated from, I assume it means sounding sympathetic without understanding or actually being genuinely sympathetic in anyway whatsoever.

Everything went wrong when we stopped smacking children.

I do go into Europe and have been much further, I get my news from several different radio stations and what I read. Where else can I get information from?

 

I'd still like you to tell us where the word woke was originally used.

I thought I did so? 
 

But to be honest it’s roots are far deeper than airheads desperate for attention and validation.  They just jumped on the bandwagon sitting in a circle drinking soy lattes trying to find the next thing to be offended at.

You tried, but you are wrong. Now Andrew, you should admit if you are wrong, I'll give you until tomorrow to find out where the word woke was initially used or you'll have to do 100 lines. Catch ya tomorrow, I've got to work in Stevenage tomorrow, for a mate in need... I need it like a hole in the head atm.

I don’t envy you having to work on a Sunday, yet it’s what I’ll be doing too. 😁 

 

9 x 12” post holes to dig out for some 6” posts as a base for my new workshop. The joys never end. 
 

Unless you have some irrefutable proof of your understanding we’re just gonna have to agree to disagree on this one. 
 

Andrew indeed! I’m only called that by my wife when she’s angry with me and that ends up with some passionate love making later that evening. So I’m somewhat Pavlov’d into being turned on by being called that. Xx

One of them I'm afraid, it should only be a couple of hours, but hour n half each way. Keep your love making in Angus, or on the rigs...
