OK !!

An #OnlyFoolsAndHorses revelation !!

The Trotters lived in Nelson Mandela House.

Now, I never really got why that name was supposed to be funny. I always assumed that it's a joke on the kind of lefty, PC name you'd get for a council property, and maybe subtly racist.

But during the 80s, Nelson Mandela's ANC was a proscribed terrorist organisation.

So is that what the joke is? That the block of flats is named after a supposed terrorist?

Or is it the racist thing?

@LydiaConwell

Seems like the racist option.
