Yep.

Reminds me of a disgusting, nasty 'character' i met in a pub in London back in July. I was having a quiet pint with the lad i was working with [from Whickham] and another designer from Chester - she's Asian. This lad [Arsenal fan] wanders over and starts chatting:

"You from Newcastle? Aw, great place, great people etc etc. Let me get you a drink.."

"Very kind of you, three beers ta."

Looks at the three of us. Buys the beers and carries on talking.

"You've got it right up there. All white. No blacks. Great place."

ALARM BELLS RING.

"Chi [designer] - come and have a chat to this lovely fella who's just bought the drinks..."

I felt physically sick. Beer has never tasted so disgusting when it's been bought by a racist.

All joking aside Min (et al) - nee excuse for that sort of attitude. Sadly, most of 'em don't even realise when they're being abusive. Will it change? Is it a legacy from the large influx of immigrants in the 60s, or is it more fundamental than that? Surely there is so much integration (only have to look at the majority of EPL teams to realise) that the tide must turn??

it's wherever you go, Screacher.

from the piece of West Ham labourer scum that i shared a house with last year, to the Brummie lawyer scum i'm sharing with at the moment. Sometimes it's open and sometimes you just pick up on little comments and asides. Either way, they need their heads seeing to.....
