Two Queues

Well, here I am back at my desk at the Back of the Walls as nose prepares to meet grindstone once again.

My recent trip to Lanzarote made me very mindful of how distinct the peoples of Europe still are, despite many of the constituent countries being multicultural melting pots.

This was exemplified at the airport as I stood in line at the bag drop. The queue adjacent to the one in which I stood ended at a desk which advertised itself as "Vuelo SAS 2354 con destino Estocolmo" and every person in that queue to a man and woman possessed those beautiful Scandinavian features. Blond hair, blue eyes, perfectly unblemished skin.

It was as if they were from a completely different, better place altogether. Perfection personified.


The facial features of the people in the queue for flight EZ2072 to London Gatwick, on the other hand, largely resembled misshapen root vegetables.

Us Brits really are a motley looking bunch. Well, not me, of course, but anyone - and there's a lot of 'em out there - sharing the same phenotype as Wayne Rooney and his ilk (whatever that may be).

Anyway, may have to find myself a gig in Sweden next time round!

And so they should be GG, don't you think?

Multicultural melting pots become beige. Except for those where cultures clash, and then they are red.

Indeed I do DS.

Let's hope there's always blond hair and blue eyes in Sweden, hot blooded, dusky Latin types in Italy and, dare I say it, people who look like potatoes in Manchester!
