Yeah, it baffles me too, coming from a country were red-headed people are so rare to be almost revered as gods… but definitely here in UK, being ginger is not easy. Even when talking about all-round football (soccer) hero Paul Scholes, some people will always say he was great “despite being ginger”.
But then again, just today I’ve witnessed a slightly-drunk gentleman who, after boarding a plane from Aberdeen and being suggested a different position for his bag by a fellow passenger, retorted in all seriousness with “HA, a Scottish man telling me what to do! That’s unbelievable!”. I was tempted to point out that a Scottish man did, in fact, tell him and everyone else what to do, and for quite a few years: one Gordon Brown, Prime Minister of Her Majesty’s Government. But I obviously thought better of it, as this gentleman was quite burly and, in truth, I’m a complete and utter coward.
UK people can be really fucked up at times.
