This afternoon a man asked me whether I come from New Zealand or Australia?
I told him I was born in Dudley, which elicited the usual response - the repetition of "Dudley" with an accent. Not always the right accent but hey ho.
I asked him where he was from?
He and his wife moved from Watford to Birmingham many years ago.
After his wife had gone to sit down to await their order he told me that in their first week in the Midlands she was taken for a prostitute and he was approached by ladies of the night on his way back from the fish and chip shop.
They moved to a different area of Brum soon after.
