Speaking as someone who spent some years with no fixed abode, I had a bit of a grin for a while after I heard Brundle say it. I also worked in the road construction industry for a while! Was I offended By the comment? No, not in the slightest, and neither I am sure would any of my friends or former co workers. This is just utter PC bull from people who take it upon themselves to fight meaningless causes for people they will never have any contact with!

Besides the ''pikey'' slur Allen and Brundle were suspiciously quiet after Hamy''s novice mistake! Can''t imagine what they''d be saying if Kimi crashed into Hamy?

i thought was he said was amusing, then forgot about it. he shouldnt have to aplogise over that.

tho they should aplogise when they accuse drivers of dirty driving, ie alonso at bahrain with no evidence. or james allens pop at kubica on the podium.

overall i find brundles comments very good, its james who should be saying sorry almost every week lol.

isn't pikey a slang term for chavs as well?
since a majority are white and in the construction buisness, how could it be a racial slur?

Honestly, who gives a damn?

I sure dont, and i doubt anybody else does either. The equality commision say they act on behalf of people who are abused, but ive never met an irishman who is offended when i joke that they are pikeys!

I totally agree with Paul this is just PC bull****, I mean come on it was a joke and let's face it the jokes make the commentary more interesting, which is why Jamie Witham is the best commentator out there!
