This is also an issue among Aboriginals in Australia. Aboriginal tribes are often divided into subgroupings based on what they call "skin colour" and it's a huge no-no for Aboriginals in different subgroupings to date - it can lead to a couple being ostracised entirely (or worse).

He had a very strong accent, he clearly was not from Pemberton originally and so I'm not quite sure why he got so offended.

Probably an illegal, just arrived in the UK hiding in the wheel well of an Airbus 380 and first off stopped for a Kebab. Pemberton was probably the first name that came into his head

Dont joke about it, they found a guy dead with his head caved in on the roof of an office in west london. It wasnt till the autopsy recognised frostbite that they figured he fell out of the wheel well of a landing plane at heathrow, dont think they ever figured out which plane or nationality he was.

I did wonder if he was illegal as we have had a few curry houses who had 10+ illegals who had been deported. One actually got caught twice!

I remember this, tragic! What a way to die and they're family well never know. I remember an article at the time saying it happens more often than you'd think!

I think there's been more than one such incident, but anyway...
