Re: Not All White Van Men Are Terrorists!
No art was addressing Grav - this was the final stage of my London outing .
The cherry on the cake as it were .
See my thread on Bumpkins in the city.
As the train drew in at the end of a long arduous day the doors didn't open immediately and Mr Mud and I and an Asian family ( who were all rather petite ) with a little child , were trapped in the aisle by a lout who had imbibed freely all the way from London.
Suddenly he started on at us ( I didn't realise at first since I was tired and sleepy and just wanted to get off the train) it seems he had taken offence because we had been reading The TImes.
He called us rightist red top readers ( the idiot obviously didn't know what constitutes a red top ) and said he was more frightened of us than ( you ) asians
This was accompanied with finger poking
I had had enough and told him off .
How dare a six foot something lout who can't hold his beer think he can be rude with impunity ?
Whereupon I was told off by Mr Mud for not ignoring such provocation.
The Indian family obviously used to such indignities advised me so pay him no mind .
Really where is a piece of two by four when you need one ?
