For the second time in as many weeks a group of foreign tourists, Asians this time, Spaniards the first, started taking photographs of me as I walked through town with some shopping today.
What's the matter with these people, have they never seen a chap wearing a tweed suit with the trousers cut in the plus-four fashion?

next The victim had a white stick, did his assailants need one, too?

Perhaps you would care to post a photo of yourself Sandy, and then we could see for ourselves what all the fuss is about?

AOG, I value my anonymity too much to be posting pictures of myself here. BUt the suit looked a bit like this, though not that terrible colour.

Yes I can quite see the reason for the interest, but why only from Spaniards and Asians?

But regarding the latter, I wonder what the reaction would be if you were to try and taker a photo of an Asian woman wearing a Burqa?

There you go again. I start what should have been a light-hearted thread and racism is dragged into it.
