Makes you proud to be British doesn't it ?

dickheads are dickheads in every country and every country has more than its fair share..its not exclusive to us..that said whats so hard about taking your crap home with you :x

Really?

This is in front of the Croatian National Theatre, in Zagreb. After regular "party" of kids, because clubs and bars don't work, they buy drinks and go outside and drink.




And the UK has over 60 million people, and Croatia under 4 million, talking about the concentration of idiots. But as you said, it's all about home upbringing. What parents teach kids these days..and we have Instagram parents, not real parents here..

Im british, but not particularly proud of it. Most other countries hate us, and rightly so.

There are worse countries sure, but then there are many better ones too.

Sorry, but I beg to differ. I travel the world and have almost never been stigmatised for being British.

I concur..done a lot of travelling in my time and only place I've been stigmatised is in Wales for being English Possibly had the odd snooty French waiter look down their nose but thats about it

The rubbish is disgusting - Animals!

I think we all have opinions of other nationalities but in my experience, people are the same the world over. There are good and bad in all countries just as we have in ours. Trouble is we have too many dirty ones with no pride in their surroundings.
Its not only civic parks, its also in the National Parks that they trash.

Whats the penalty if caught? You are a very naughty boy !

Thats just banter - I always take the Micheal out of the English in jest and vice versa with the sheep jokes.

I have travelled extensively and never been criticised for being British but I do correct them if they call me English, I am welsh butty.

Far worse places to live than the Uk but again lots of better places, Germany is clean and people have respect and France is like the UK in my opinion.

Nope, used to run a pub in South Wales and had some seriously xenophobic comments not to mention the assaults, death threats and hate mail that were also part and parcel, plenty of friendly banter too from locals but there was some genuine hate from an element down there

You must have been in Merthyr or pill in new port for that sort of crap to happen, its not acceptable in any format

I loved the banter when I worked in Glasgow In the last few years before retirement.
All very well intended in both directions

I don't know whether this was in relation to the pandemic, or just d*ckheads in general?
Either way; The new restrictions have been lifted to meet a maximum of 6 outdoors, not f*cking 6,000! If Covid was not an issue, then business as usual for our (pretty lawless) Country these days!
I used to be a proud Englishman before March 2020; struggling now TBH :x

I drove past a park where I live earlier, about 6.30pm, it was teeming with people. Bearing in mind it was 23 degrees C here today but we are also one of the highest Covid infection rates in the Country still (6 times the National average).

Looking forward to lockdown 3

My place of choice to live would be Japan.

Australia gets my vote. Good weather, speak English, like beer, don't take themselves too seriously and sorted the Covid sh*t so well. Shame I'm too old to get in! :wink:

You missed one out (easy mistake to make), there was a "lockdown light" in November; oh and in January.

Agree on Australia as been there many times as half the family live out there in New South Wales, been a bit rough out there though with the fires and now the floods

Never went anywhere as a Scot and encountered dislike, everyone loves us :idunno:

Agree about OZ, was on holiday there over xmas and new year before COVID and it was absolutely fantastic, really nice country with nice people

Not to far from me, actually worked there for 10 years, what pub were you running.

We spent a month in Australia Last Feb 2020. My brother lives in Sydney. We also visited Perth, and the Whitsundays. All the time we were there we never saw any Dog s**t or litter anywhere. All the beaches are spotless and public transport was excellent. We never felt threatened or intimidated and everyone was so polite. Why have we got it so wrong in this country ?
