You are so easily distracted!

I have my answer,re "Is Britian United?"."No",it would seem from the posts here.


I had to add,this is all so funny,that the people who have put down peoples from the other parts of the U.K come on an ex Pats site.

Nothing Patriotic about these cruel remarks.

Isn't it a very english thing to moan about everything and say you hate everyone?

I'd say I'm very patriotic, proud to be British -love Irish, Scottish and Welsh men, its a beautiful country with a few problems but all said I love it!

Oh I think the people on this forum are very patriotic but they are able to laugh and make fun of their fellow country men and government/politics and any other country/nation that is making a tit of itself.

Is any country or region united?

Do New Yorkers like Texans?

Londoners or Southerners dislike people from the North. People from Dublin make fun of people from the West of Ireland. Jamaicans don't like Trinidadians, Lebanese hate Syrians, it goes on and on and on.

Its not just a British thing to moan, the Irish love to moan, more so when they have had a glass or two, then they cry and have a fight and a great night was had by all

Too right,,, I believed the best came out here and i left all that back in the UK but like you .... SHOCKING....

It's part of our national psyche to rip the shit/shite out of each other.

And let's face it, there would be an awful lot less sex if we were just nice to each other. Taking the piss is a huge part of the the mating game. God knows how other nationalities get each other in the sack...

Judging from this and various other posters new to this part of the bored (sic) schools finish for the summer in mid-June in some places. So many of these posts sound like a bunch of whiny teenagers.

Cruel remarks? Don't be daft. It's called banter and is humorous to adults with a balanced outlook.
