The British... Abroad!

Scotland is Britain you a**

They would dispute that...

Anyway, I was just listing the non-England countries I've visited - I thought someone had mentioned Wales and/or Scotland before me, and so thought it was acceptable, apparently I was mistaken.

And why the hell didn't you complain about my listing Wales?

Must have missed it....And I was the one who mentioned Scotland and Wales, as a means of saying that you need not vacate the UK for a decent holiday

If i go to a country where I don't know the language, then it's a shame to butcher it by trying to learn from a phrase book.

If they've been taught English in school, it's an offense to their educational system to butcher their language rather than speaking in one which they are taught professionally.

To be honest, I would still make the effort, to at least show willing to attempt the language of the country I am visiting. I have found that if one at least makes the effort, then those around you will make allowances and actually be far more helpful than if you swan in, apparently expecting them to speak English.

Just something I have noticed on my various jaunts abroad.

*Briefly returns* I'm no sprinter, I'll give you that - but when it comes to your wrath my primordial instincts would override that. 3nodding  

[Zoutout]

Heh. It was almost a joke - I partly agree with it, but I also agree that the effort should be made.

you'd get 3 feet in as many seconds then have a coughing fit and collapse exhausted if Illy hasn't already caught you.
And for all we know you are too small and pathetic to have primal intincts.

Yet, he has commendable traits like humour and grammar.

You are always being 'so insulted'  

[Invictus_88]

Don't fight.

Make up, or duel..

[and_solo_said]

If there is a duel, it will be between Simon and Wiggy. I was meerly stating fact  

[Nebelstern]

You just want to see some brawling don't you Invi? Alas, Wiggy is never on long enough nor frequently enough for me to vent my rage on him. A pity if there ever was one.
