One of my students on the evening programme was a Gambian (also with a husky voice, like Joseph*) called Victor.
Victor’s featured in blog Stereo-typing: 3 (https://piccola-chinita.blogspot.com/2019/02/stereo-typing-3-london.html).
Fast forward some 15(?) years.
I was visiting a friend whose family runs the Arthur Probsthain Oriental Bookshop (here Orient = Near, Middle, and Far East) diagonally opposite the British Museum.
The book shop has three sections: the main front section, a middle section, and a back section, all with book shelves. The back section also functioned as their office (for admin work, processing overseas orders, etc.).
It was while I was in this back room that I heard a husky voice in the front room. My brain immediately went, “Victor!”
And it was Victor, indeed.
