graham59 Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) The Mrs is always quick to point out another foreigner... in the supermarket, or wherever (real rarity seeing another white man here where we live). I just think why the hell should I put myself out to speak to someone (assuming he wants to speak to me anyway !) just because he's an obvious poriner... like me. Sure, a nod and a knowing look, but I'm a big boy. Don't need 'hugs from home' . Edited May 10, 2020 by graham59 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During my visits I used to often nod or say "hi" to others who were clearly Foreigners. I stated something to do with this here awhile back and I think Jack made a more detailed similar comment to yours and he kinda opened my eyes. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a sad state of affairs if all the many foreigners who don't want to chat were wife-beaters! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never struck a woman in my life, and never will do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
