Letter to the Editor: Just like you and me

DEAR News Of The Area,

AS a manager in an insurance company, I was required to visit repairers doing repairs for us. I recall once sitting on a milk crate in the driveway of a panel shop in Western Sydney whilst a man called Allan brewed Türkiye coffee.

The coffee was handed to me in a little porcelain cup, more like a small bowl, cracked from age and brightly coloured with Persian design.

Allan I would say was in his 70s, stocky, with a belly and an unkept grey beard.

He was softly spoken and very respectful.

I could have been in another country; this is Australia.

Regards,

Colin HUTTON,
