Uber driver this morning told me he arrived in the UK from Ethiopia 14 years ago. What surprised you most, I asked. ‘All the food! In Tesco’s in Earls Court! And people were politely taking it to the checkout! People are so polite here!’ #perspective So we talked about his boyhood in Tigré province. ‘You know why we’re good at running? Because the nearest village is miles away, and if you don’t run with a message for your uncle you get a slap!’
