Express yourself! Every week we ask you a different question. Hear what people say, then join the conversation! This week: The colour white





What do you associate with the colour white?



Here's what people in London said:



Man 1: Peace 'cos it's the absence of all other colours.



Man 2: Looking around I'd probably say paper and studying, 'cos paper is white.



Man 3: A flag that people use to surrender.



Presenter: Have you ever had any times when you felt like waving a white flag?



Man 3: There have been times when I've had so much homework that I'm thinking: "Should I just not do any of it and just show them the white flag?"

But in the end I've managed to overcome it.



Now tell us what you think!
