Bert is just straightforward. He never tries to be an *******. He is from Austrailia and they do not have political correctness down there as we do here. We in the US have been conditioned to say everything nicely and think about everyone's feelings. He has no malice he just says it like he sees it.
Well the PC police are trying hard to make us just as 2 faced as the US is.
"Have a NICE day" as they rip you off blind or chop you up with a chain saw.
I once contracted to a mob who ripped up your contract if you said "happy Christmas" to a customer because they might have non christian beliefs and be offended.
"Happy holidays" was also banned because some people might be working through , Happy new year go the same treatment because they might be Chinese or Greek Orthadox .
Yet they advertised heavily as providing "friendly personalised service ".
When John Clease did his first Aussie tour he picked up on this and did a side splitting routine on the UK Stiff Upper Lip & false PC.
So strait talk it is and refreshing it also is.
OTOH it cuts both ways so strait talk can't come out of a glass jaw begging a strait punch.
