Re: around 5.45 pm and to dinner
"I think that applies for all nationalities in general. I've had the advantage of growing up in two rather different cultures so I think I see more differences really, than similarities when looking at people from different regions within a country. But my knowledge of Scotland is very limited, so all Scots would probably seem the same to me until I got to know an adequate amount of different kinds of Scots." Typical of him to apply work-mode to the question, since both cultural and regional differences within Britain interested him, along with the inherent yet somewhat subtle class-system in England compared to the far more rigid and painfully obvious and visible caste-system of India.
And that was obviously a conversation for another time, and possibly for another conversation partner. Adrian often found that things that interested him, seemed boring to others.
