I actually had a go at a new Migrant at work recently as he wasn't saying Please or at least Thank you when collecting mail from me and my Co workers.... unlike 99.99 pct of the other Workers. Including the White collar professionals from head office in the city we had helping us over Xmas. I've noticed this trait amongst a certain group now and I reckon it comes down to them feeling uppity. He has changed his ways and the good manners seem to have spread amongst his recently group appointed compatriates. Twas a fresh of the boat Indian. Strange as I seem to recall them as being very polite in the UK. :confused: Maybe it's an aberration ? For some strange reason I suspected him of having a class issue,

Nah. It's not the same league at all. There's errors, gaffs, faux pas and then there's the Aussies.

There's errors, gaffs, faux pas and then there's British Labour.

So tired of the 'whinging Pom' combo - in fact the word 'Pom' is desperately witless and overused anyway. Show some imagination Amazulu

I'm not going to defend this woman, but I can understand where she's coming from. While living in the Middle East, we had to develop coping mechanisms for surviving the stench after the workers left from their daily maintenance trips to our villa, we also learnt how to stand side by side in lines so that the indian and local kids didn't push past us to get to the front of the queue. There's nothing that pisses you off more as a parent than making your kids stand nicely in line for their turn and being pushed further and further back in the queue by rude little bastards whose parents say nothing. Since coming back to Australia, I have noticed that these traits are not left at home when they move here.
