And the reason I don't like Harry Potter is that it's too far fetched. I mean whose ever heard of a ginger lad with two mates?

You've just reminded me of a bizarre time me and a few mates had on a curry night a few months back.

Drunk bloke wanders over, and just stops and stares at us (about 8 of us, including 2 gingers). He then repeats the line in your post - no warmth to it, if anything he looks angry. Understandable awkward silence at a shit joke delivered badly.

He wanders off annoyed, and spends another 15-20 mins sitting in silence next to his also drunk wife. They then suddenly leave before their food has arrived.

I'm confused exactly what he hoped was going to happen?

I was just trying to break the ice.

Weird indeed. I'm entitled to tell it since my 5 year old girl has red hair. It might not be the funniest joke in the world but anyone who wants to get offended needs to wind their neck in.

My daughter is a true Ginger and brought up to be proud of the hair colour!

I married a ginger, 47 years ago - so tbh she's not so ginger any more. It was the hair that first attracted me.

True to form the gene skipped a generation but has showed itself again in our Grandaughter.

I am ginger, carroty , any old name you like. I alway viewed the nickname ‘Ginger ‘ to be a compliment. It’s not so bright now but unmistakably auburn, to give it a posh name.
Notable gingers include the drumming hero...Ginger Baker!

Yes, it jumped a generation to my gorgeous granddaughter.

Does that include your daughter?

Indeed it does. She's 5 now and we actually have our own little in joke about it. If asked what colour her hair she is briefed to say auburn. She thinks it's hilarious and my mission is not to bring her up an overly sensitive snowflake to coin NSC's favourite term.

Sorry but was your comment you getting offended on her behalf?

That’s lovely that.
My oldest is a redhead and she is so special a person.
I might be biased though.

I just find it a little strange that you're teasing your own daughter about her appearance, and from such a young age.
