Working with other nationalities

[Churchill]

And what about us Brits - how would you generalise our behaviour?

I am the very model of a modern major-general.

Brits - Great at Yakking, terrible at delivering

Yes, the cult of personality (which is really an instance of the cult of celebrity) has taken hold. But usually the emperor has no clothes.

[NotAllThere]

Brits - Great at Yakking,

Brits - Great.

No mention of Nigerians, so I'll poke my head above the parapet and say that they're a bunch of bullsh**ters who learn IT from a "Blagging IT for Dummies" book and then wing it on the job and keep their jobs because they work for pennies.

[ladymuck]

Brits - Great.

Slight overstatement.

There are two camps of Brits:
- The over aftershaved barrow boys who think they're god's gift to mankind but fail to do anything of note
- The genuinely hardworking and compentent ones that work hard, play hard but never get the recognition they deserve

Don't get me started - only good for scams, nothing else.
Useless f c uk wits.

Oversimplified.

There are in fact 3 : North Italy (Milan/Turin), Middle Italy (Rome etc) and South Italy (Naples/Sicily).
The 1st one is like the best of Northern Europe (Germany) in productivity and performance, the 2nd a bit like Greece and the 3rd a bit like North Africa.
So Francko is right wrt to Northern Italy (La Liga country).

A pity that 70% of the people in the north come from the south. I think hard working is a general characteristic of italian people. Sure if I was living in Calabria and there was no work whatsoever I would enjoy being lazy too under. After all the ability to enjoy yourself with what you have is another great characteristic of italians.
