Well, a funny thing happend to me....
Hi All,
As the title says............
This past week I have been Racially Profiled....
A customer who I visit ( mates with a Manager ) has allegedly commented to said manager, that he does not like my "Welshness", he's a Northland Kiwi.
Frankly I don't like the Foul Language he speaks every time I visit his Company, but hey, I have had worse.
Suppose I could be really offended, showed him my full "Welshness" found where is Holiday Home was and burnt it down........
Welcome home to a real fire, buy a holiday home in Wales...
So, I guess I wont be visiting him again any time soon... if I do, i'll take along my BIG Attitude Adjuster
This is me passing you back to the studio
Ian.

Well, boyo. Yachie dah and all that.
Just start humming, 'Bread of Heaven' the next time you visit. Find out all the times Wales beat the AB's. At either the Arms Park or Millennium Stadium.
Talk about the relative state of NZ Coal mining and Welsh coal mining.
Tell him there's only you and the royal family have welsh gold wedding rings. Look up some of Rhod Gilbert's and Max Boyce's acts on, 'You Tube'. For some new material the next time you visit him.
Ask him if he can sing baritone as you want to start your own Welsh Male Voice choir. He could join....if he was Welsh. Which is just to bad because they also play rugby. Can he play rugby ?
Turn up dressed as, 'the only gay in the village'. Bring some leek soup, soda bread and Welsh cakes with you.

Re: Well, a funny thing happend to me....
I'm surprised he didn't claim to be Welsh himself. After 28 years here I've yet to meet a Kiwi. They all claim to be part English/Scots/Welsh/Irish or a combination of a dozen other nationalities
I had one bloke tell me he was "half English, half Irish and half Scots" which was strange as there didn't appear to be more than one of him.

Sounds like the client is a dick
No need to defend being welsh.
All Black heritage comes from the home countries
