Can't win....

[scooterscot]

Went down to Bristol today (just returned) took a taxi to the client's site once I arrived. The taxi driver could barely utter a word of English; my trying to explain to him where I wanted to go was testing me to the limits.

On the way back to the airport I got a driver who spoke the queens English without a problem, but would he shut up!!!!!


Bristol, my advise - don't do it.

Was he Glaswegian?

[HairyArsedBloke]

Was he Glaswegian?

He was probably from over the channel i.e. Welsh.

[ChimpMaster]

He was probably hitting on you.

You mean the True British?
Don't forget foreigners, you are just squatting in our lands.

Aboriginal British

It cracked me up when I first read that a couple of years ago.

[TykeMerc]

There are no aboriginal British left, what most very old Welsh and Scottish and Cornish families have is Celtic ancestry and the Celts were invaders that were later pushed West and North by subsequent invasions.

People wobble on about having Anglo Saxon heritage but the Angles invaded from Southern Denmark and the Saxons from Saxony in what's now Germany.

The British population is a mongrel conglomeration resulting from invasions from Europe over an awfully long time with the last military one being conducted by the Norman French who were in fact originally from Scandanavia.

The British population is a mongrel conglomeration...

Yes, I fully agree. That is why the nationalist/racists have no basis. However, that is not justification for the unlimited immigration policy either.
