I don’t normally share much online these days but I had to with this one!
So I’m doing my usual day-to-day grocery shopping at my local Tescos and this lady comes to me and says ‘Hi I’m sorry but could you help me out with picking an item from the top shelf?’

As usual, being tall I get ask these kinds of things many times. So I said ‘Of course I can help you’. Once I picked up the item and gave it to her, she asks rather shyly ‘Oh btw where are you from?’ I’m sure I’m not the only one but when I get asked this particular question..
I don’t know to say. Shall I say I’m British or my Somali background. So I said to her that I’m born and raised in London but I’m originally from Somalia. To my surprise she says yes I would have thought you were Somali.
