JamesC Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 The word postmaster is also an interesting word, with the "master" in it. Master and slave; he who must be obeyed, and he who must obey. You sure thats not just what they call the head of a post office? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erol_h Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 If you live somewhere your suppoused to be able to understand and speak the language. My grandparents came here over 46years ago and have managed to learn english not perfect but its good enough, I wouldnt go to another country to live if i couldnt speak the language.

ivan Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Exactly. And also from a customer service point of view. How do you serve someone that you cannot understand and that doesnt understand you? A bit like us trying to understand a Bombay call centre? Are you English? Does she write like she is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathew Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 a racism thread that hasnt been locked/deleted????? i might aswell throw in my opinion then while i still have my chance. the guy is of a foreign nationality (albeit he's been here 18 years) so it CANNOT be classed as being racist.fact. if the dude in question was white then god knows what sort of hatred this would bring out amongst the typical wan.......PC brigade.

DODGYDODDS Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 :rolleyes:We used to be GREAT britain, but since the pc crowd, and do gooders got there way Britain is no longer great. I hate the way anything you do nowadays that has an ounce of common sence is slammed down as hate, or rasicm, the postie guy is only saying what most of us brits think, i mean would you get the same kind of support if you were in an arab country/poland/latvia trying to speak english! And now he has resigned, whats this country come to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiten55 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 to be honest if anyone ever comes into my shop and starts speaking in gujarati or hindi to me i answer in english. why? A. im born here, so consider myself british and as such will speak english; B. its rude to other customers who dont understand the lingo; C. they almost always want a discount of some kind of favour just because you speak the same language there are other reasons but i wont go into them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
