A BRITISH man living in Berlin has confirmed it is because he is better, both physically and spiritually, than those who have remained in the country of their birth.
Tom Logan, aged 30, is back in Huddersfield for Christmas and to remind others that by residing in a different country he is, and forever will be, a class above them.
He said: “Even in my youth, I think it was obvious I was too cool and interesting for Huddersfield. They probably expected me to move to London. That’s imaginative for them.
“Instead, not 12 years later, I arrive from foreign climes, the exotic air of Berlin still pervading my clothing. That’s Berlin the cool one, where artists live. And me. I live there as well.
“God, this place seems so small compared to the grand avenues of Berlin. And the mighty river Spree. And all the cosmopolitan, bohemian people like myself who discourse about architecture by day and party all night.
“They call me ‘the Englishman’ because over there, I’m the foreigner. Though of course I don’t fit in here anymore either. Shall we go to a nightclub so I can say how pathetic it is compared to Berghain? You’ve never heard of Berghain? Oh my God.”
Brother Oliver said: “We’re pleased Tom moved to Berlin. Not only did it get rid of him, but it gave him something other than vinyl to build a personality around.”
