Today I was changing trains at a certain station. The platform has a shelter with a long bench in it. A group of three or four rail workers came and sat down.
They started chatting about colleagues, including one who was now 'doing revvy'. A good bloke, apparently.
One of them asked asked another 'You don't wear trainers, do you?' This provoked quite a speech.
'No, I don't wear trainers, because the only people who wear trainers are chavs, people on benefits, and dirty illegal asylum seekers who come over here to get a free house and are guaranteed not to be deported, and that's why this country has become a SH*THOLE!'
As he made this little speech, he warmed to his theme, and got louder, and the last word was practically bellowed. Next to me was a young Asian woman with a headscarf, and I believe she tensed and moved to face away from him. I sneaked a look at him and he didn't seem drunk. I wish I could say his companions looked embarrassed, but they didn't really. Isn't behaviour like that misconduct?
