Grrr…I thought I could pop into my local Wellcome supermarket at lunchtime to pick up a few things.

Bad idea.

When I went to the checkout I noticed there was a queue.  When I looked closer I saw that it was a long, slow-moving queue. 

The explanation is that they are offering 10% off everything.  Cue arrival of people who have all the time in the world if they can save a few dollars.  Exit exasperated Gweilo.

    Sorry – but isn’t this planned “anti-discrimination law” not completely RACIST itself ? I remember a few years ago some replacement was sought for some higher position in the IRD…Somebody suggested to look for a gweilo -others (surely) protested against this idea: “Why a gweilo for this position ?” Answer was: “Because a HK people would not do this job for “this salary….” – as far I remember salary was more than 200K a month – def not including other benefits…….Funny right – I wonder who was discriminated there……….
