See the world more, Mr Old Man

Here I am in the library reading, but being kinda distracted and disturbed by the old man who spoke to Dearie and me while we were doing our shopping. Decided to blog abt it, so that I can stop thinking abt it and get on with my revision.

I'm feeling very sore about what he said, and I hate myself for not telling him off straight in the face, reason being I didn't think toooo much about it then, and I was more interested in searching for the right size of shirt for Dearie. I really really do regret it now, and wished I could go back to the same scene at that time to give him some verbal slapping.

Here's how it went..

Dearie and I were searching for a nice shirt so that he can wear it to his interview, and this old man came, picked one of the shirts and...

Old man: Oh...made in Cambodia...where's Cambodia?
Me: Near to Thailand
Old man: *sneers then comes over to see where the shirt I picked is made in* Where's that from? China?
Me: *ignores*
Old man: No..made in indonesia...
Me: *looks at the tag* yeah..
Old man: You should get British made ones if u want something proper..
Me: *ignores*
*old man walks away*

FUCK! WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!?!?!?!?!

Shheeeesssshhhh...if that fucked up old man thinks so highly of British goods and sneers at products made in Asia, then why the hell is he in Marks & Spencers, when most of the stuffs are made in developing countries?

Why is he not in Aquascutum?
Why is he not in Pink?
Why is he not in Burberry?

I agree that goods made in developing countries are perhaps not having as good quality control as those made in Western countries, but the shops are more concerned abt the cheap labour costs to maximise profits. And if the consumers are so damn picky..wanting cheap goods yet wanting it ANGMO made, then jolly well make their way to branded shops and stop grumbling about how extorbitant the prices are.

Can't stand people who grumble abt all the unnecessary shit when they should ask themselves whether they can afford PROPER (like they claim) stuffs. If they can't, SHUT UP and stop being such a snob.

What's so wrong with Asia too? Some are still in poverty, but what makes UK any better than them? I don't think there's anything that fantastic abt this place. All they do is get drunk every night. And superior they claim themselves to be, then why is it when other countries are gradually developing, they're still stuck in their pathetic state, with the crappiest technology and with streets that are absolutely filthy and architecture which doesn't even make anyone go "Wow!"

All I can say is that old man hasn't seen the world enough, hence, still living in his good old days thinking that the Whites are the most superior race in the world.

Get a life, Sir. You should go see the outside world more, rather than being a frog in the well.
