stez Posted 4 March 2005 Share Posted 4 March 2005 what really annoys me is the way they don't (as a rule) have separate indicators on the rear of their cars, their brake lights flash instead grrrrrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 4 March 2005 Share Posted 4 March 2005 Over-politeness. I know that serving staff rely on tips, but asking me after every mouthful of my dinner if everything is alright is not doing much for them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collymore Posted 4 March 2005 Share Posted 4 March 2005 Iv'e never been, but from what iv'e seen from them on TV and meeting them over here it would have to be their disturbing view on the world where they can't understand why other countries (even Iraq) don't like them very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solihullfox Posted 4 March 2005 Share Posted 4 March 2005 Just like us there are good and bad, both in the States and those that travel. Met some lovely people in Antigua recently who when being loud at the bar gave the impression you expect. Talking to them next day they were completely different and very nice to boot. Caused all sorts of ructions when I got them going about George W. Half the family thought he was great whilst the others believed him to be a complete prat - really was a heated exchange. I just buggered off to the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
