    Ah yes. Don't you just love stereotyping?

    In this case it is closer to duck-typing.

Unfortunately, the Germans are right, that's exactly what the British are like on holiday. I saw three British girls, skirts up, knickers down, bent over with their butts pressed up against the inside of a huge bar window facing right onto the street, at 3 in the afternoon, in Turkey. It wasn't a pretty sight, particularly as they were all a god 20 kilos overweight. :omg: (Well, I say British, lets narrow that down to Northern British.)

      As a Brit, the behaviour of some of my compatriots "out foreign" is the second most embarrassing thing I feel. The most embarrassing is the (thankfully now quite rare) Rover 75.

                    True, the northern border does actually go north west, south-eat. It follows the old Dane Geld line by the looks of it.

                      Nick Griffin (or his paternal line ancestor) is not English - he is of immigrant stock from Co Kerry, Ireland.

                            Well he is an arcane old relic. Presumably he still believes Ireland is part of Britain. ;P Also 'indigenous Britain' is a very fuzzy term. He can twist it to mean whatever is appropriate for the context.

                                          Yeah? Oddly it is fairly missing in Devon, this kind of behaviour. I always thought it was a north south thing. Perhaps not.
