Most people back away from me when I start talking to them in the street. That's probably cos they don't know who I am, and I sadly don't know who they are.
Someone once introduced himself to me, I think he regretted it, anyone who knows me will understand why…. note to self, when they start looking at their watch it’s time to shut up talking.
I wore a Barnsley away shirt to Tramlines this year. I received a number (over 5, less than 10) of polite 'You Reds' from strangers. Not a single weirdo tried to engage me in conversation.
Saw two reds fans in Cyprus the other year. They looked to be having a bit of a domestic whilst looking round the tombs so I didn’t say anything
I always get a "you reds!!" walking along the prom at Skeggy. Most I've had was a brief conversation. "How do you think we'll do this season?" etc. Never had any love though. I don't know what Laura would say
Just back from 3 weeks in Scarborough which is full of reds proud to wear their colours and exchange the customary greeting/acknowledgement. One keen eyed soul even spotted the retro navy blue Shaw Carpets away shirt I had on. The place was flooded with Leeds shirts for the opening day game against Man Utd but they soon thinned out after their hammering!
I remember in my early 20's, I joined a silent order of monks. Saw one of the lads in town on my day off, neither of us knew what to say. #Awks
Not everyone wants to chat. I have Asperger's and will talk the back legs off a donkey if you catch me in the right mood. I also have a football daft nephew who has learning difficulties and he is incredibly shy. He would have some difficulty working out the appropriate response. I also have a Grandson who is stone deaf and as a result of that he is also very shy.
