Re: Don't Come to Australia
Do you really believe that Tesco are an ethical business or any better than those two ? You do not become the worlds number 4 retailer by being nice I'm afraid.
Australia should be proud of the fact that it still have the majority of retailers who are independent. Something that cannot be said of the UK for a great many years since the coming of the superstore and the demise of the small family business.

Re: Don't Come to Australia
The Welsh are NOT a race - fact.
I didn't say he disliked ALL Welsh, I said he wasn't a fan and that he's not overly fussy with his dislike - fact.
I didn't admit he was bigoted - I said he was possibly and it was a joke against my husband, and that - oh you know what this is more than silly.
I won't be reporting your post because quite honestly you're showing yourself up quite beautifully on your own and I don't need to help you. I would say though, you're not a great example of a Welsh person. It's a good job I know some lovely ones, I'd hate to have to assume they were all like you and to agree with the husband, he may decide he wants me to do that more often. - That was a joke by the way, in case you didn't get that one either.

Why would you joke he was bigoted if you did not believe his views to be?
You state that you would hate to assume they were all like me and agree with your husband!
Couldn't care less if you report me.
If I am showing myself up by standing up for my beliefs, then so be it.
Rather that than by being racist, nationalistic,xenophobic, bigoted...
whatever you choose to call it to lessen it's effect!
I've had some PM's supporting what I'm saying and that there have been other cases of blatant racism which have been scoffed at by some of the moderators.
If you want to take the P**s out of me as a Welsh individual, that's fine.
To group WELSH people all in the same way and make derogatory remarks is racism. FACT!!!

Re: Don't Come to Australia
So are you now saying your initial post was a joke?
Why would you joke he was bigoted if you did not believe his views to be?
You state that you would hate to assume they were all like me and agree with your husband!

Re: Don't Come to Australia
Your belief that the Welsh are a race on their own is fundamentally wrong. They are a nation of Caucasian people.
No matter how pedantic you want to be, no matter how much you beat your racist drum your wrong. Racism is the belief that some races are inherently superior (physically, intellectually, or culturally) to others and therefore have a right to dominate them.
Stating your husband has a dislike for the Welsh is therefore not racist. Nationalistic yes, racist NO NO NO
PS It must be true I capitalised & repeated myself three times

No - just with muppets.
Once again, slowly, for the thick kids - it depends on what your expectations are...

Re: Don't Come to Australia
I do belive that you could 
It's a pity that 'Tesco' don't seem to have a travel department, otherwise you could have targeted ( pardon the pun ), your choice of possible emmigration destinations better.
I'm prepared to live anywhere in the world.............as long as it's within a mile of a Tesco store
