I know Glenn has covered a lot of this previously but I just feel the need to get this off my chest and it will be a warm up for the feedback I plan to give the smarmy tour operator guy back at the office! Plus Glenn’s popped out to get his beloved beard shaved off and I’m bored!.
What a chauvinistic misogynistic hairy eared prat! He had more respect for the monkeys he fed along the way than he did for me, no doubt coz they had a lot in common & it was like looking at a mirror image of himself with those hairy ears!
Day one he made a slight effort and spoke to me but this quickly disappeared by lunchtime!. I thought it was quite funny at first as Glenn, who tends to leave all the talking to me, was going to have to make a lot of effort in conversation over the next few days. However this very quickly wore off!
Going the long way around the car to open the car door for Glenn to get out and not even unlocking the car for me to get in! (Glenn had to jump in and reach over each time). Asking a question and him constantly directing his answers back to Glenn, and then when he did speak…. “good morning sir” and a slight nod in my direction!. “is sir well today?” “What did sir think of the temple/monument/lunch/hotel” to me? “…..” you get the idea?
By day 3 we experimented to see how long it would take him to talk to me without me instigating/asking a question the result? 10 days!.
On top of this he didn’t even attempt to understand us, when he did speak it was to try to direct us into some sort of emporium, trip or overpriced food stop. I’d feel safer driving the bloody car in India than him and anyone who knows my confidence in driving will now appreciate how unsafe we felt at times!
The pic below was to capture the ironic sticker he has emblazoned across his back windscreen with me pointing to it, unfortunately a mixture of Glenn’s photography skills and a crap camera means you can hardly read it.
The sticker reads: THIS CAR RESPECTS WOMEN!
( I reckon one of his mates superglued it on for a laugh!. doesn't he look happy standing next to me?)
I still can’t bring myself to ask Glenn how much we did actually tip him in the end but I asked him not to include my half, after all he wouldn’t want a woman’s money anyhow would he?
