    Also, “Bassalt” only has one ’s’ and “Squirel” has 2 ‘r’s.

    @Silly – yeah, obviously, I know about rape seed but you know, words and their connotations and that.

    I once heard my old nan use the phrase ‘nigger brown’ and that wasn’t really advisable either. Although to be fair, she wasn’t trying to sell paint, but describe the color of a jacket.

    Silly is obviously off her tits on E’s. It is like well, duh.. we didn’t think that rape had a yellow colour. Unlikely, coercion, which we all know is a gentle apple white tint.

    And why have they printed some colours’ names in exactly the same colour as the colour ?

    Nobody uses “bellend purple” – why not?

    If you think of the bright yellow fields of crops you see in summer. The flowering plants are Rape. They are farmed for the seeds to make Rape Seed Oil. Probably the most common cooking oil on super markets shelves.

    Even more common than cockoil?
