Amid the splutterings across the Atlantic... you have to admit that the English are more polite than a lot of nations :)
 
Yep. On at least two trips to various parts of Denmark, it was explained to me that English is a difficult language (when I was trying to learn Danish), as there are so many extra words due to our politeness!!
(My reply was "B*ll*cks!".)

i used to have to work 3 international inbound flights....frankfort, gatwick ( london ), and charles de gaulle ( paris). lovely people the british. in all my years doing that flight i NEVER had a problem with any of the passengers...even when things werent to their liking. i have had less problems with brits than i have with my fellow americans. main problem with the frankfort flight was the language...but the germans were even agreeable enough as well.

Just don't mention the war. I did, but I think I got away with it .......
 
Terry... :lol:

That was a reference to Basil Fawlty (John Cleese) in a 'Fawlty Towers' episode when German tourists stayed. It was hilarious!

Basil Fawlty: 'And would you all stop talking about the war!'
German tourist: 'We didn't start it!'
Basil: 'Yes you did! You invaded Poland!'

:lol:
