To look down on everyone around him maybe?

I smell a slight Napoleon complex deep down somewhere.

In reply to knowall. With lending an upturned box to il-ginger to stand on, perhaps. That way, at least, il-ginger can have someone to literally look up to him - willy, nilly.

They can change their tie and their logo and their colour, but their mentality is still the same.

Did anyone notice the name of the bar in the background? “Happy Bar” – happy with what, I ask?

Answer is: so he can look down at people in the very sense of the word ! I suggest he contacts Sarcokzy to see from where he bought his raised platform shoes that make him look taller.

In reply to La Redoute.

It’s only a matter of superiority. The platform is not used anymore in certain schools, so that the teacher is on the same level as the pupils.

“Biex ikellem erbgha minn nies joqghod jitla fuq platform, mela mhux superjuri wkoll”.
