If you go into a Jobcentre as I did recently .

You go up to reception & tell them you have an appointment at 10-40am (its now 10-39) your told to have a seat over there & your sat waiting a gd half an hour.
Then An ASIAN guy walks in striaght up to reception in his PJ`s holds out a piece of paper & when asked a question says “me speak not English” (ffs whats the cooont doing here then ) so striaght away the receptionist gets in a flap & runs off for an ASIAN employee to come & interpret for him .
He doesnt get told to go & have a seat for half an hour oh NO he`s taken striaght to a desk & delt with there & then mean while im still waiting to speak to someone & it turns out im waiting to see the same ASIAN that that fooker saw.
POINT BEING YOUR BETTER DELT WITH INTHIS COUNTRY IF YOU DONT SPEAK THE LINGO…..FACT So I leave but upon entering the bottom floor I spot the cooont talking to his friends in plain ENGLISH me being me had to say something which flarred up into a huge arguement & security was called in luckily for me there was a few skin heads in who knew me & it kicked off big time but we were the ones in the wrong as always . This kind of stuff makes my blood BOIL

Ugo, why didn’t you go back to the receptionist and explain that this guy was taking your place, which I agree was wrong. This isn’t new! not all but some of them have very selective abilities of speaking english.

I would have been tempted to say well if he doesn’t speak english it won’t matter that he takes his turn will it. As it was, and as you say yourself, you made yourself look the bad guy and ultimately wrong.

I dont see how being angry at that situation is wrong?

I hate using the word racism but lets face it, these are the things that get ppl bl o o d y narked. As i have said before and will say a million times, racism towards white skin is rife, yet no one does anything about it as its not taken seriously. Where as racism against black skin is …..well lets not even go there is case im arreseted and charged with racism.

Sorry Tadpole, I didn’t mean he shouldn’t be angry, i’d have been angry, and yr right it does get people narked, but when you lose it, they ultimately win don’t they. I know how hard it is believe me, but it’s so much better if you can keep your cool and insist on your appointment being honoured in the first place, it’s not Ugo’s fault this guy chose not to speak english at that point and he shouldn’t have been the one made to wait.

Congrats on your news btw :wink:
