We all moved to Italy for a reason..The way of life and what it has to offer:

Yes they are 10 years behind the UK and in some ways I think it is a good thing.

They may be a bit racist to us now..BUT remember the UK "love thy neighbour" great funny TV program, the golliwog on jam jar..

Was we ever really racist? no I do not think so...I think that all these do gooders have spoilt what was normal.....I think that every country is a bit racist in its own way

I think Live and let live: We are in another country and should (not have to like) except their way of life.....

Accepting the Italian way of life doesn't mean we also have to like every aspect of it.

I like pizza but I don't want to eat it every day. I like Yorkshire puddings but I don't make them every day either.

Just as there are things I dislike about Italy, there are things I dislike in the UK too.

I think I might have read your post a bit too quickly and got a little confused by "except" when you meant "accept".

sorry Bricwood but I think what you have posted is rude ! I hope that I never bump into you, especially as you have already prejudged me simply on the fact I'm a so-callled expat. Well I'm judging you on your 'intelligent' posts and I think you are narrow minded and prejudiced.

Like Duffer said - I am proud to be British (most of the time). This forum is a great place to exchange ideas/views/information and the majority of us are respectful of each others opinions. Sorry the same cant be said of you.
