Many years ago I used to work at a beer-festival up in Olympia (GBBF) and staff would be given (cos we were volunteers) free t-shirts, often with brewery logos.
One I got about five years ago from Shpherd Neame is bright red with Spitfire on the front. And on the back, a bit contoversially it has "No Fokker Comes close". I think at the time Sheps were criticised for continuing to stir up WW2 anti-German feelings.
Anyway I found every time I wore this shirt, I got into confrontations. So i stopped wearing it, except in winter as an ersatz vest. But it still seemed to have that effect of antagonising people, even though they couldn't actually see it.
I wore it yesterday, with reluctance because all my others needed a wash or weren't dry yet. Result, a slanging match with a rather prim lady in a market garden ffs...is it cursed? Or do I project with it an aggressive manner?
Where's Uncle S when you need him?
