i agree with everything you said above guiney.
but in the defence of my work,, its creative and provocative. it was the aim of the play and im glad its been taken up on.
i use derogatory terminology with all 3 main characters. where you found the word tinker upsetting , some others might find the word yuppie upsetting.
the play is set around a prison enviournment, and each characther was sentenced for a crime that is stereotypical synonomis with there background, fraud for yuppie, drugs for townie and fighting with the traveller.
its a play that uses all the stereotypes associated aith all three groups.
and i use words like tinker for the simple reason that the word is still used, derogatory or other.
decided to post my reply here in regards your post on the play thread..
anyway act 3 will be up tomorrow,,you can see how it pans out..
ps,,i hate the words knacker, tinker, whore, not bothered about "jesus", faggot, queer,arse bandit, bum boy, handicap, bastard, cunt, retard, mink, cream cracker, lol,, this list is not exhausted...
