Ark Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Try taking a black cab from heathrow, if the fare is less than £20 you get the same behaviour as you described........so doubt it has much to do with the colour of the skin. In fairness, this has a lot to do with the fact that the cabbies have to pay about £5 a go to get into the taxi ranks at Heathrow, and often have to wait an hour or more before they get to the front of the queue. Yet they work from there because sometimes passengers climb in and ask for a ride to Glasgow or wherever. Oh, and to all the people who are moaning that immigrants are coming over, and not bothering to learn the language, I say this: Damn well learn English yourself, before complaining. I almost had to consult the Rosetta Stone to decipher some of your posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonW Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 The fat lazy British born scum of this country are without a doubt the worst I have come across in my 34 years of living here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 The fat lazy British born scum of this country are without a doubt the worst I have come across in my 34 years of living here. Are you one of those British born scum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonW Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Well I'm British Born but don't consider myself one of the members of British Society that I would consider scum. Maybe you would think I am scum? I'm not sure why you are asking me the question. However I have worked hard all my of my life to have the things that I own and I have always shown respect and tolerence to my neighbours and colleagues that also work for their living and show respect to others. Why was I asked the question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Why was I asked the question? Purely because you said you'd lived here 34 years which seemed to suggest you possibly weren't British born. While your statements are valid ones I just thought it would be a bit off slagging off another nationality when you live and work in their country.

Could have something to do with this; The fat lazy British born scum of this country are without a doubt the worst I have come across in my 34 years of living here. Comes across as a bit of a harsh generalisation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 34 years old and was born here in Sunny Reading where I still live:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough I did suggest that all of Britains scum were fat, which obviously isn't true. They are the worst I have come across though.

I take it that you didn't mean that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 ...The brits are lazy b'stards who think the world owes them something The world does owe them: An empire! It was just taken away by all sorts of timewasters, the final blow being the WWII expenses and loans to the USA. All sorts of countries had their time in the sun: Egyptians, Greeks, Iranians, Italians, Spaniards, Turks, Russians....why not the poor brits eh? Bring back the Empire I say, there are too many 'free' tiny little countries just killing each other. Why not surrender to a big-hearted brother who will love them and teach them how to use their own resources? Aaawww.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
