Neighbours

[Tashi]

We had new neighbours move in about a month ago, hadn't seen much of them in first week or three.
I came home from work on Thursday, Dave was talking to them over the wall (3 Feet high) I parked up, walked across to Dave, gave him a hug, said hello to them, they just walked off and went indoors.
Dave spoke to them yesterday, all they said was we don't like foreigners, I suspect we're not going to be friends.
They're 60ish by the way.

have a look at what happens at football matches, plenty of racism still, and they aren;t necessarily old.

[andres]

Crikey! Sixty old? I don't think so.

[anneasquith]

Mallya. See 15.40 .

[mallyh]

thanks x why can't people use the name given my poor brain gets confused

[emmie]

The young can be influenced by their parents, who might well hold racist views. Its up to them to make up their own minds, but some don't preferring to stay within their own spheres.

Could the OP be merely another episode in the continuing long-running fictional saga "The Herne Bay Chronicles"?

[Tashi]

I came home from shopping 1100ish, they were out the front gardening, I got out of the car, gave them a huge smile and said 'good morning' they turned their backs, their choice.

[Tashi]

Why didn't you mention this in the OP, Tashi?
How rude of them!

[Peter Pedant]

I am really sorry Tash
esp as you work the NHS so you cant curse them
wait until I get you in Cas - I will nail you to the trolley ....

hurtful and unnecessary

even if it were - it shows unacceptable behaviour innit? - Tash you dont deserve the neighbours or the AB ursey comments

[Tashi]

Thank you Peter.

Next time you get home you should have the local football team with you and take the knee in your front garden, that really winds the racists up :-)

[Peter Pedant]

yeah hey
you should have knelt by Dave
and if queried
say I am not adoring him
I am taking the knee
