Tom Sharp, 71, said he was talking to his half-German daughter in the Packhorse pub in the Peterborough village of Northborough when their conversation slipped into German.

Mr Sharp, who also served with the Royal Signals for 26 years during which he met his wife Anni in Germany, said the pub's landlady flew into a rage when she heard the language being used on Wednesday evening.

He claims she told him: "We are white, you are English so you speak English in my pub otherwise get out."

6. Yes, racism

There was a time in this country, when Irish and later Italians were not considered white.

Racism is not about genetics, it's about prejudice.

There are plenty of English racists who want the Scots and Welsh to leave Britain and go back where they came from.
