care to elaborate what I said was not entirely true ?
about the HKers on the Island, Kowloon and NT ?
as mentioned, things may have changed ;
remembered back in the early 80's while I was shopping for a plush toy for my god sister along Nathan Road; the lady was rude when I asked her for the price; Attitude was zero. "Buy if you want it otherwise go away (Local slang; don't stop the Globe from turning)
During a recent trip, went to Temple street to buy a toy for my grandniece. Asked politely Ah Chan how much for the toy? Ah Chan said HK250. I told Ah Chan I am only willing to pay half the price. Ah Chan said "Hang on" and he got me a toy half the size.
Told Ah Chan that for that size, I am going to pay only HK60. Ah Chan smiling replied "Hang on...." and got me another toy that's half the size (1/4 the size of the original toy)
In the end I got the big one for HK$200
btw I got a godson who is a Hker
(PS for those not familiar with the local slang;
Ah Chan refers to someone (male) from mainland China)
