They’ll toss Paddington some Kiwi boot polish and he can black up for you.

It was political correctness that got rid of the golliwogs. When I was a young child my favourite toy was a Golliwog, and I am far from racist.

Indeed. I was never that sure though that any black people had actually complained.
All seemed, as you say, something kicked up and blown out of proportion.

Which is why Wales ended up with a "wolly gog " instead. :D ( Colin Charvis's nick name ) http://www.sporting-heroes.net/files_rugby/CHARVIS_Colin_20070915_GH_L.jpg

They examined signing up Paddington Bear 18 months ago, he said, but at the time the bear was busy with a tie-up with Marmite.

I remember thinking at the time that Marmite was not Marmalade.

Silly bear.

Marmiteade != Marmalade.
