Woman's Weekly: 6th August 1960
Hello and welcome to Casual Racism Monthly. All I can say is: the past is a different country, and they do things differently there. I just had to share.
Sage advice indeed.
So "dark" men in fez's are serving up curry and there's a Thai air hostess? What country is it meant to be?
It DOES sound like the writer confused their foreign stereotypes, doesn't it? But frankly, that's the least of their problems.
Egyptian-Thai-Indian fusion restaurants were all the rage in 1960.
Hahahaha! The time when drip-dry, 100% nylon shirts were a premium product. Supermarket carrier bags were made of paper then, it was only posh shops which had plastic bags - now it's the opposite.
The irony is, I bet the writer thought they were being very worldy....
It was all part of the Empire, what what. Egypt, Malaya and that.
Bloody hell.
>Girls who hit the headlinesare either dead, divorced or in the dock
Women, know your limits.
It reads like a story from a Porn mag.
"The stewardess drew closer to me , and I could feel something stirring inside me, something ... erotic"
So...do you lot want to read the whole thing? I do plan on having multi-page posts soon...
And you'll feel better, and you must order curry, that is what I live by.
