This is a question Grandparents

My awesome grandad flew in Wellingtons in the war. Damn, those shortages were terrible. Tell us about brilliant-stroke-rubbish grandparents.

I had the misfortune of living in bed and breakfasts near Slough some years ago
whilst working for a well known and properly rubbish IT company just off the M4.

First night staying at a B&B in a picturesque village a good drive away from Slug, chatting to the nice old couple who's house it was about various things. They obviously took a shine to me, being a well spoken, polite lad, because the lady said, I guess out of genuine concern for my well being, "Well thank goodness you came here rather than finding a random B&B in Slough - you could have been eating curry for breakfast!".

I blinked twice at the casual racism and replied, "I quite like curry for breakfast". I think I dropped slightly in her rather snobbish estimation after that and her love of Slough was never mentioned again.
