Default Is It Just Me?

Now that the dollar is circling the drain, all the tourist
destinations are filling up with Brits, Euros and others. Are the
Brits the rudest or what? I am getting so tired of "whilsts" and
"knickers" and that freaking accent. Didn't we fight a war to seperate
us from these crumpet munchers?

Been there lots of times and am going again in February and speak the
language as well. For the record, the French have a saying that goes:

"All generalizations are false. Including this one."

Yep. It's just you.

The Brits aren't the rudest, although they may be slowly
supplanting the ones that are.


Don't think so. My wife and I have boht noticed, for the last ten years or so,
that Brits have become the "ugly Americans" of Europe, particularly in France.
