Dateline: bus interchange. A Chinese speaking man pivoting from his phone call to telling an older Anglo man complaining “speak English” “to stop being a nosy f**king c**t” was just a thing of beauty.

@oberonsghost I recall a story from some years ago about two hijab-wearing ladies nattering away in a bus and being told by an irritated fellow passenger to speak English. "We're in Wales dear - and it's Welsh".

Possibly apocryphal, but I do hope it was true.

@kauer @oberonsghost Came here to post the same story. No idea if it's true I'll have to check. But it's such a great story.

@kauer @oberonsghost It was reported on the BBC so decent chance it did actually happen: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-36580448
