Quoting Harry O'Connor
the Handover? The 1997 handover of power from the British back to China of Hong Kong? If so I have a funny story about that, if you can believe it. A couple years ago I was in a pub down the road. Hereford is a bit backwards to say the least and I was there with my fiancée Becky, A work mate of mine who happened to be German and a friend from Sweden. There was a guy in there who I could tell didn't like "foreign" people. It makes me sick when people behave like that, and eventually this guy said "one of them is with one of our girls" Meaning, me, the foreign guy and Becky. Well unless you count mid Wales as foreign I'm British. So Id decided to play up to it, see how thick this guy and his mates were. I starred at him until he asked me where I was from. I told him I was Chinese and some big story about how my dad was a powerful politician in Hong Kong that got exiled in 1997. I put on my thickest Hereford accent, something that no Chinese man I have met has, and needless to say I am pale with blue eyes and blondish hair. Couldn't believe the guy fel for it, just shows there is a direct correlation between racism and stupidity. Saddest thing is my German mate asked me if it was true at the end!
