What do you hate about England and English people?

Yes the topic is too to strong and someone will say I am not original but never mind.

First of all before I write what I don’t like here I must say that I am tolerant person and have friends from different countries different religions, cultures and races and yes there are more things I like here than dislike. That’s why Im still here :-)

I find that more and more people here are trying to be political correct.

The other day we had a staff meeting at work and one English colleague suggested that we should postpone Christmas party (which we organize every year) until the end of January so that everyone could attend and no one would feel offended! Why would you call it a Christmas party then?

Second example is from my friends experience
You cannot apply for some kind of jobs here if you are not "Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic" And I am not talking about some small crap businesses in the outskirts of London. I am talking about big government owned company. He is white. So what? You wont consider his application because of that? I find it racist. There are lots of people/politicians who think that racism can only be the other way round, How stupid is that?

I always thought that politicians and governments should act in the interest of majority of people (of course the rights of minorities should be protected but not in the way it could affect principle rights of the majority).

Aren't there enough Scottish threads already !! ;-)

;)

Our politicians are only interested in themselves and furthering their careers


Bad dog :(

Our do the same

Wasn't it Plato who suggested that anyone who wants political power is the least suited to having it?

Sugar in potato crisps. It's a peak of idiocy to add sugar to a savoury snack.

I hate the fact The English have really bad teeth

So if i understand right, Jacek, what you hate about English people (that is the topic) is that ONE of them wants an Xmas party to be organised in January and that some businesses here only hire people who are not white...? and that politicians are not interested in what people want, where Daisy and Lukasz pointed out that politicians are mostly self centered greedy pigs anyway. I reckon you should rename the topic of your thread to 'I feel like having a rant today' ;)

No mention of vinegar on chips?

World-wide phenomnon, I'd say.



So you never eat honey or jam and cheese on a toasted sandwhich?

Hi You Lot, what we wouldn't do to keep ourselves busy! Unbelievable - and fun too ;)

Cheese and honey can go well together, but not when the cheese has been melted.
It should preferably be a strong, hard cheese. If there's no honey, dates work well.
The perfect accompaniment to this? Beer.

Hey AvJoeUK!!!!!!!!! The reason for the English having bad teeth, is, that the so called FREE National Health Service will not pay the dentists enough to even cover their costs. This in turn, means, that dentists will only treat private paying patients. To hide this fact, the UK goverment pays Polish dentists to fly to the UK to treat poor people. I have heard mentioned, the sum of 48,000 PLN being paid for a weeks work.

They've been edible recently, somehow.

I hate the NHS

That's a different story. Honey - nope. Jam OR cheese - OK.

My flatmate has put milk in his tea and enjoyed it.

I'm allowed to post my dislikes of my country. In no particular order they are:

awful traffic congestion
The gradual erosion of any sense of responsibility by people
hosepipe bans when it's rained all winter
having TV stations called Dave and Ben
heathrow airport
manchester united
self serving and very dim politicians
train fares that make it cheaper to fly to New York than get the 9am train from London to Glasgow

Despite that I love it here. It's home.

Perfect!

Osiol! It's again you and me and cheese! LOL

Haven't tried the dates yet, but HATE beer. Am a Szarlotka, Bloody Mary and SA wine fan ;)

On the contrary, I can't understand how people can drink tea brewed from teabags with milk ? It could be some kind of penalty in some hard prison in Siberia IMHO, but not a lunchbreak treat.

Chavs and chavishness.
Cycle paths you measure in centimetres rather than kilometres.
The Smoking Ban.


You mentioned cheese, and suddenly I couldn't help myself.

I put milk in my tea !!! drink my coffee black but dislike the Polish coffee with the bits in it !!! yuk!!!..The first time I had this I thought that someone had forgotten to put the coffee filter on....lol

Why can't I get Cheddar Cheese in Poland?

The good ones like Montgomery or Keene's don't travel well, and they're not world-famous. Yet.


They say the grouts, if you pour them down the plughole, scour the drains clean.
Think what that can do for your teeth.

I thought the trick is to let the bits settle at the bottom of the cup.

Well, I realised that I should express my hatred and resentment in a thread called 'What do you hate about Scotland and Scottish people?'. But I guess some things are common for Scots and English, they live in a widely cherished and revered Union after all.

Check out my Welsh thread. I've picked on our Scottish friends enough already for the time being.

I did it already. Haven't you noticed ?

I love vinegar on chips as well as vinegar crisps. The milk in tea is not bad, but not good as well. I hated those small sausages in my full english breakfast. Can we really call them sausages?

I hate english moaners... Before anybody says anything, I hate the polish ones as well.

At Carrefour! Pay through my nose for it though!

Can we call it a full English breakfast?
