Letter in today's Telegraph.
Sir - At traffic lights in Bradford, a large van drew alongside. The sign on the side read Khan and Khan Builders. Underneath was the slogan: "You've tried the cowboys - now try the Indians." Arthur. |

The Human Rights people might see it as a slur on the gentlemen that might describe their working methods as 'existential'.
