Anti British feelings

[coolerking]

Any really personal messages for Fat Boy Fat?????

 

I'm meeting up with him and his unusually lovely Missus tomorrow for a coffee/beer.

Want me to scratch his eyes out /slap his wrists/chastise him severely and so on???

 

 

I've got to say that he and his Mrs are the most settled folk here I have ever met + Plus I am envious of his terrific job! - I mean ...he gets paid to do that!!!

 

Great thread Looks to be in no need of those blooming moderators!!!

 

It is not best that we should all think alike; it is differences of opinion that make horse races.

Anyone who thinks SA is going to the dogs is off his/her mind. I am here visiting from South Africa. Trust me, when you live in a country which is filthy, crime-ridden and has political leaders who openly encourage violence against your particular race-group, then you can talk about places 'going to the dogs'

 

Don't know how many posts I have read on here over the years that go something like "Adelaide is great, we have the beach lifestyle, we have bought our first car, the kids love playing in the sun..........but we are thinking of going back to the UK because we can't find Jaffa cakes anywhere and my husband doesn't fancy reading the football scores in the paper. He wants to watch it live on TV. Blah blah blah

 

Nowhere in the world is perfect, but SA's have it really good.

I think a few people have missed the point of my question, I can tell you good and bad points of every place I have visited in the world including the North Pole. What I don’t understand is the anti anything English stand, be it outright or just under the surface that some people take on this site.

An example is the England shirt. What harm is it if someone supports their country of birth or team they have followed for years by showing it. Why does that upset people so much? Are we saying that you should not wear an AFL shirt if you go out of Australia?

I would just like an honest answer as to why some people get off the plane at Adelaide and feel that they must now put down and abuse their place of birth, and then justify it with news items and reports from the UK that could just as easily be from the more deprived areas of Australia. We should also recognise that as Australians we are a proud multi cultural country and English people are a part of that culture.

Spot on. I do laugh when I'm told I should turn into an Aussie because I now live here. Why? I love living here and feel its a great place to live, as is the UK for many Australians. I used to love seeing the bar staff in Earls Court wearing their aussie tops.:jimlad: This showed they were proud to be Australian and rightly so. I wouldn't expect them to wear the three lions or bad mouth their homeland. So why should we?

live and let live i say,

 

i have my (old) england soccer top and im sure i'll wear it during the world cup - much to HG's horror

i loved the area we lived in - the village/country side is beautiful - if we wernt here we'd still be there...and i feel thats what led us to choose aldinga, and if i got my way id go further south again...

 

i loathe the way the uk has gone, the system, the scum that work the system, and ultimately hold it partly responsible for my nephews death!

 

HG is close personally to the incident in buxton - hence being very emotive at the moment.

Spot on Cornish......The governement are responsible for the state of the country, lack of power, lack of balls, rolling over when ever its the easy option, bail out banks but not save the icons of British manufacturing.

 

The country is pretty lush with great places but the government have made it into what it is.

 

Pay into the system get nothing, dnt pay in get money thrown at you !!!!!

 

Thats it for me on this matter....all be nice to each other...please.
