We have become a little more accomplished at hiding things from prying eyes.

But the car park is still the number one spot for Asian couples to meet. Hey, I don’t make the rules I just follow them.

The darker the car park the more likely it is you will find an Asian couple here.

Country roads are also another firm favourite and side roads. People have some shame after all!

It is a free-for-all now. No-one cares. In the beginning people would go to great lengths to hide the shame.

You went to park up and in a flash the couple would be talking. You went for a walk in the park and two people who were holding hands would suddenly part and pretend they didn’t know one another.

Yeah right! You are in the middle of the country – she’s wearing yellow shalwaar kameez, he is wearing a fake D&G top with Rockports.

Being seen in public with a member of the opposite sex was once a complete no-no.

The very idea that one should be seen with a ‘girl’ or a ‘boy’ made us have fits.

There was level of respect even if they didn’t know you. Now, they don’t even flinch.

Shisha bars, restaurants, country parks and cinemas – it has all come out into the open.

And who the hell is that oldish guy always walks everywhere? You know the one – somehow he just happens to be walking at one side of town and then the next?

The problem is you can’t go anywhere without the ‘new generation’ wanting to stick their ‘relationship’ in your face.

I swear the weirdest thing ever is seeing an middle-aged Asian couple holding hands.

We like the days when people had some sort of decency. We like the secrecy. We like it when people felt aggrieved for having being ‘spotted’.

You go to someone’s house and say you saw their son somewhere and they start swearing at you and telling you mind your own business.

They seem to suggest as if you are doing something wrong by staring at them for 20 minutes.

Baby, I know it ain’t right but I can’t help it.
