An explanation

After many umming and aring (i think this is how you write it) I have decided to create a blog. I don't really know what to expect from this really.

The reason for this title stems from an incident that occured yesterday while shopping.

I am walking around the suit section at the local department store (50%!! no way i wasn't going to get one), an old gentleman, lincolnshire version of Huggy Bear (at least the trousers did), stops and admires the very nice Alexandre suits (£400 a piece...nice too).
He seems to like the suit and he is feeling its very soft material all of a sudden he shouts : "You 'd have to be an immigrant to afford that suit!"
He then glances over his shoulder to find me trying a jacket on...
My wife would say that had this incident happened a few years ago i would have been extremely annoyed and would have said (done?) something to the guy.
But yesterday I realised that i was not affected but what the guy had said. Not that i didn't think that what he said was offensive, does he know what an immigrant is? shall I highlight to him the differences between the types of immigration?
My wife thinks that he was just a very unhappy man as he didn't look like he could afford much.
I just ignored the comment and carried on trying my very nice suit. At the till my wife asked what i thought about what he'd said. I said i wasn't really bothered and we just laughed about it.
Why should it bother me anyway?
