What will you say? If some person says " How are you ?"
-
"I am well, how are you" is the correct response. Should they ask "How do you do?", the correct response is to say "How do you do?" back.

I have the opposite problem. I come from a working-class background and believe me the descrimination is worse & I've seen both side of the fence. I went to a Public (rather than "State" for USian) School and a pretty "Smart" (for UKians) university. You should have seen my interview to get into Oxford :- Needless to say I didn't, I ended up (like so many) at Durham. I have even had problems getting consultancy work (this is not as bad as it used to be), as my accent doesn't fit. Worse, compared to many in Newcastle, I sound "posh" so I get it both ways.

Sorry, we must differ on that point, nothing good can be said about France. Except the Women. And The Vineculture. Oh and Paris is quite nice. :-).

-Or-A Dead ringer for Kate Winslett[^]Yeah, I can believe its better up North, they might be miserable up there but at least they arent wankers. But, whatever you think or have heard about France, know that it is a great place to live, and not for the obvious reasons, such as cafes and restaurants. I talk of the French people. They are simply a great bunch. Warm, friendly, open, sociable, and lively. Let me give you an example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSzecX2CZ88[^] This is the French equivalent of Wimbledon. But they take it for the joke it is, and dont mind the guy clowning around, using the microphone, hitting the ball. No security guards are called, no one is angry, or scared. Take a look at his other vids, Saving Private Ryan is funny too. They are a cool, laid back bunch the French.

Not miserable either (guess where I'm from), this is just stereotyping by southerners who assume it is. The main problems are the weather is and the fact economy is shot to hell (and the problems that brings).

So they are like anti-geeks, sounds like hell. Secretly, I like the French, but being English I can't say so. Except on a public forum such as this :-).

For the same reason they need British approval. i.e. null. But they've got it anyway.

-Or-A Dead ringer for Kate Winslett[^]Yeah, the northern thing is a characterisation. Actually northerners are friendly too. If it wasnt for the weather I would live there happily. Watch the vid if you get a chance, you will understand just how the French are.

Did you get my message I sent you regarding CP reputation watcher Add on ? From today It's not working fine and not showing changing of points. I think CP might have done any structural changes on DOM.

Doesn't sound like you updated it correctly, does it say Version 1.5 in the About tab? and in chrome://extensions/ When i say update manually, go to the extensions tab, developer mode, and click the 'Update Extensions Now' button.
