Shouldn't the Europe forum now be removed from BE?

Actually, I think that the British should now be confined to just one thread.

I admire your optimism. Sense of humour died the day everyone started getting offended by everything.

Welcome back, Guindalf.

I thought that was a cultural thing. Brits are always complaining about something and offended by everything.

Complaining, yes, that's fine. Being offended by stuff is for babies, though. Not the British way at all.

Maybe I should have said it a different way. The Brit way is always right and if you don't agree with me I will assume you are trying to offend me.

The hell with "being offended". What about just breaking a chair over their heads? That's British isn't it?

That sounds more American to me.

The British way is to tut loudly, albeit from a safe distance.
