How nice of him to do this, proper old school.

Grand gesture……til some Zulu descendant drops in for a pint and decides its offensive. 👍

Well, you would hope not, but I suppose some misguided fool might.

Hopefully not indeed. 
It was said in jest actually, but the ‘Turks Head’ and knife handled bar pull farces sprung to mind. 🙂

Have you the read 'The Washing of the Spears'? A bit of a tome.

The history of the rise and fall of the Zulu empire and all that encompassed.

A very good YouTube Channel for all things Zulu war.

 

I have been interested since I first saw the film, when I was very young (Pre Zulu Dawn).

I remember the thing that really struck me, was the Zulu salute to fellow braves at the end of the film (sadly not true).

Yes the rise of Wokery and snowflakes is disappointing.
