By the way. I'm Polish (should call myself British, as I've been here for many many years now, but I still can't spell so be it). Born and bred in Poland from a Polish family of Jewish/Italian extraction. To make it more confusing, grandfathers born in Belgium and Germany. Most family lives in the States and Canada, but I was blessed with a communist passport. Mind you, as my wife is from St. Lucia, I have quite nice option of retirement :-)

If the child's mother is black, then they feel black, but of just a lighter tone. A mixed race child growing up with a white mother, feels certainly not actually black per se...
From what I experienced in London is actually opposite.
Mixed race kids from single white mothers are the "blackest" in attitude. They'd blame their mums for the lack of the father figure and in some cases adopt a racist stand. If they grow up on a council estate, they have loads to prove and they think they need to have an attitude to survive etc. I'm sure prof. Dyson explained it many times already when writing about positive Black role models and common (despite so wrong) association of street culture with Black identity. Anyway, it's not always the case and depend on upbringing and peer pressure. -

I'm sure I asked it before. How many brakes do you have on that bike? Sometimes fixed speed bike will pull to the side, because of it's weight distribution. If the frame and components are very light and you put on some big arse brake lever well, it's heavier on one side. And if you lean forward too much, the whole bike will go all over the place like when you're trying to break out of the peloton during the ascent in Tour De France or something.

i would suggest a new pub to try out as MultiGroove and me had a rekke of some sort and seem to have foundan agreeable spot (...)
And how many pints did you have exactly before you did that reconnaissance, that is so agreeable? It doesn't sound like a true SE ethos to agree straight away on anything:-)

Obviously they're too young to actually take that merc for a proper spin. They're trying so hard, it's disturbing.
