No April Fool spoof this but Border Morris from the English-Welsh border: a simpler, looser, more vigorous style, normally danced with blackened faces.
The people I met recently on my return from touring New Zealand by rented Wee Strom (I know a gentleman wouldn't gloat, but I'm no gentleman) weren't "mock smiling"; they were making no effort to either smile or fake it at all. After 28 hours, including a short break in Kuala Lumpur all I wanted was to get home, but first we face UK Grenzpolizei. The experience was as bad as always, then made worse by there being only about half the available desks manned (the "cuts" no doubt). How they will cope when regularly faced with an A380 disgorging its full load on them isn't hard to imagine - they simply won't!
Word verification = bashes. Seems appropriate somehow.
everything has been figured out except how to live. why don't u do that.
ReplyDeleteMoriskentänzerin. Amazing how anything written in German fills me with dread. Must be my age.

ReplyDeleteFooled you all. These people are actually the new face of the UK Border Control force. New decade - new customer friendly image.
No longer will you be greeted by mock smiling turban clad officials as you present your passports after a rough 12 hour flight in scum bag class.
