Brundle in trouble.

Ofcom assessing ITV 'Pikey' jibe

Media regulator Ofcom is to consider if broadcasting rules were broken
when the word 'pikey' - a slang term for Gypsy - was used in ITV 1's
sports coverage.

Commentator Martin Brundle was interviewing Formula One chief Bernie
Ecclestone before the Canadian Grand Prix, where part of the track
crumbled.

'There are some Pikeys there at turn 10 putting tarmac down - what do
you think of that', he asked Ecclestone.

Ofcom said it had received 7 complaints. ITV said sorry to viewers.



I wonder how many of the seven actually came from Pikeys.
