Frank Hovis Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 There was a thread on here about British values. Most said the usual guff about tolerance and politeness but I went with liking a fight, liking a drink, and wanting to win. So I'm suing this Portuguese guy for copyright infringement!

council dweller Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Well my wife works with several Portuguese nurses. Why are they here? Is it due to the Portuguese economy being in such a dreadful state? Or maybe they fancy a good spit roasting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Executive Sadman Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 All makes sense until you find he's portugese. Its like the Irish lecturing the Russians on the dangers of alcoholism. Portugal isn't exactly what you think of when you think sophistication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreigners around the world always do. Mind you, it's not quite as bad as the seemingly common practice of teaching that well-known ... um ... English folk song "all through the night" to schoolkids. Yes, I have had to explain to foreign teachers that those english words are actually a translation ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cica Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 This is utter nonsense. He's basically singling out the English lout stereotype. Using the same logic, have you seen some of the scumbags they have down in that part of the world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
