Young fogeys never grow old

Young fogeys never grow old.

As I strode on my way home through a decrepit part of town a gypsy woman in peacock-colourful dress just stopped me not to ask for money but to say how much she loved what I was wearing (brown fedora, Nigel Farage covert coat, check shirt, pink woolen tie) and ask if I was 'in the opera'.

    1. Hee hee. I do like him but his covert coat is very familiar to me from commuting to London by train in 1985 and I associate it with Essex man. In Bucharest it looks much nicer than a dark coat.

    We know very well that you like and admire Nigel Farage and share his views.

    The only little problem is that Mr. Farage is an infamous enemy of the Romanian people and you're living in ... Romania.

    Mutatis mutandis, Mr. Farage iy for us what Mr. Hitler was for your people, in the thirties.

    Just imagine being a German immigrant in Britain of the thirties, overtly declaring your simpathy for Mr. Hitler.

    Of course, in contrast to your people back home, we are civilised and tolerant, don't blame all UK-ers for what your people do to our people in the UK and understand that you are a nice lad with a nice blogsite, especially when it comes to passeist Britishness.

  3. Besides:

    "a gypsy woman in peacock-colourful dress just stopped me not to ask for money ..."

    why should she ask money ? how simplistic and schematic your views about Gypsies ...

    "a gypsy woman in peacock-colourful dress just stopped ... to say how much she loved what I was wearing"

    Gypsies have an "innate" aestethic taste, they are fine people by birth
