Default Expats behaviour aboard?

What is up with Ex Pats??? Seriously, Most of them I meet are complete tools. They try and flaunt their britishness, No one cares, no one cares that your from England. Its not a big deal, its not like your the first english person to land in Canada, that was done by George Vancouver and the others back in the day. It's already done, so calm down, go back to your shack.

I met an english guy holding a pint outside a bar saying how rubbish and awful england is, while he was wearing the latest ENGLAND SHIRT!! Obviously bitter that he was stuck in a small town in the middle of nowhere with nothing going on, earning hardly any money.

When canadians ask me questions about england or ridiculus questions, I wonder why they don't just get up google, I already done plenty of research about Canada, I already know about all the festivals and culture here, for example Alberta is known for Cowboys, Racists and Skiing.

People ask me what england is like, I say its fantastic, but if they go there, a Chav might mistake them for a Yank and they might end up getting their head kicked in to Justin Biebers latest song.

So my rant is, look Expats no one cares about the whole patriotic act, if you love england just move there. Secondly Canadians USE GOOGLE!

Thanks and good night

Just a slight correction here. Alberta is known for Racist Cowboys, and Skiing Lesbians.

I think you mistyped that - it's lesbian cowboys and racist skiing.

Are we allowed to talk about cowboys and cowgirls in these PC times? Are the not all gender neutral "bovine handling technicians" or some such BS?

I'd respond to the initial post, but really its just trolling after a few too many wobbly pops (I hope)

How many racist cowboys does it take to change a light bulb?

Spoiler:
None, they just sit there and complain about the dark.

At first I wasn't even going to look at this thread because of the obvious typo in the subject, but I'm so glad I went back to see! If I'd had any idea it would mature into cowboys aboard racist lesbians at a ski lodge I wouldn't have hesitated.

lol, at first I was really hoping someone would take the bait and tackle the obvious nonsense in the original post because that would have made for excellent reading material with my mid-morning cup of tea. However, hats off to you all for taking the high road and I like that it's become a slightly off-colour game of chinese whispers involving lesbian skiing cows (or something) instead

Well, there's no use responding to generalizations like that; you can only pile it so deep...

I agree, the Brits display disgusting behaviour when visiting other countries.

Good example here
