Correct, I was brought up in a village for the majority of my life.

I think perhaps opening doors for ladies of any age is polite, I'll always have manners, which is why I also say please and thank you.

So, the above to one side, is this aggressive chip on your shoulder born becasue you're not a white Brit and feel hard done by?

Did the white kids at school tease you because you're not really from London?

Do you get upset when you see a white Brit earn more (as you suggest) than you?

Lastly, are you proud of yourself and who you are and the way you speak to people? Would your parents be proud if you never said please / thank you or opened doors for lady like a polite human (i use the term loosely with you) should?

You could earn a million pounds a day and you wouldn't impress me or be worth me wiping my feet on.

I normally wouldn't and don't boast, but with you I shall make an exception. At 31 I sold a Recruitment Business for more than you can earn in 5 years.

I also own a business in the ME, so don't act billy big balls with me on your peasant salary. What you earn net in the UK I pay my salesmen here.

You just did though mate. and anyway, I thought I'd cleared up the fact that you're probably the teaboy?

Is English not your first language?

Ha ha!

A quote from his first (?) post "I am British and have recently accepted a job in Doha. It is with company which is well known in the western world. In UK, after tax I get about 65 to 70k GBP per year (including bonus, etc)."
He also states the Qatar salary as 103k, not 130k so perhaps he is dyslexic as well as arrogant and stupid?

My maths is pretty good and I am sure that GBP 65K (incl bonus so not a basic, note) is way less than the GBP 130k is he now claiming to earn. A decent whack but not great. Silly, silly boy.
