meeting people from England in the US...
General Discussions ( Anything Goes )
Personally I'd rather get on with people from which ever culture they come from. However, because many English people have a massive insecurity problem and inferiority complex it's always best to have a retort or crisp rejoinder at the ready - just in case. Telling them to go back to Germany where they came from. That usually brings on a Porterhouse Blue - or remind them that they are in fact the illegitimate sons of the Roman hordes if a similar effect is required.What really bugs me though is the media which tries to play up national differences as if we on this rock in the North Atlantic were some how genetically different. The Celts and Saxons along with Jutes, Angles,Picts and in these days people from all over creation live here. Were 60 Million on an island that would comfortably fit into Lake Superior. There are idiots like Anne Robinson - a woman of infinite unimportance who say things like " The Welsh! What are they for? Then you get real morons on radio stations like Talk Sport who delight in trying to belittle Welsh sportsmen usually to the embarrasment of the English people their trying to lure into a racial slur.
