What we all think of different countries...
 

Have been wondering this for a while... :D

I was shopping the other day and saw a beach towel, on it said : I GOT UP AT 3AM TO GET THIS SUNBED, SO F@$K OFF!! Now this is aimed at the lovely Germans hehehe... Not sure if any of you other nationalitys know, but us brits have a standing joke on hols. Its that the Germans get up at crack of dawn to put their towels on the sunbeds to get a good spot. (after going to many Meat shows I now know its not just the sunbeds they get up early for ;-) )

Anyway.... what I was wondering was.. Do you have sayings for us? or any other nationalitys? And did you all know this was a standing joke here? I guess The Brits are known as lager louts etc..

The 'Move' Topic' feature does really work as designed. Only thing you have to get right, is selecting the correct target forum. :p
Recovered from the dark side.

Lol Eva...

You know exactly what I mean, my lovely little German lady :D

Yep they are all people the same, but us Brits have a preconcieved idea that Germans have to get up early to beat us to the sunbeds on hols ( and I have one that some of them have to get up early to beat me other places as well ;-) )

So what do you germans have preconcieved ideas about us? and did you know we had our little joke about sunbeds? :lol:

Deb

Deb, without joke: I do know nothing about this sunbed things because I never travel in such a vacation! I hate this sunbed-holidays.... :wink:

Hmmmm - what do we think about the Brits???
Only the best of course!!
Maybe that they drink a lot of beer and hanging in the pubs all time..... :?

Love,
Eva

Well in Barbados (most of the carribbean for that matter) they think the English are mad.





















Wait there I am English too but I get off :P :D cos my great aunt is Bajan and she says I do. :lol:

Yeah thought we'd be lager lots lol. Funny but apperently Americans think that the Germans drink a lot lolol And they think us Brits have bad teeth :?

Sorry?? 8O

Actually when I think on Brits, I envision them in their picturesque kitchens stirring up Yorkshire Pudding, and cooking the meat well done. ;)

typo :D

hmmmmm .... you would :wink: but not all of us like our meat well done. I like mine with blood dripping :)

Oh and we think all Americans say "Have a nice day" and eat Mcdonalds :D

Deb

Medium rare for me ;) but sometimes the oven gets a mind of it's own!

As for hanging in the pub all day? Where's the problem? One American friend of mine was astounded when I ordered a pint of Guinness with a big fried breakfast in an Irish themed bar in New York a couple of years ago... beer with breakfast is apparently something that doesn't happen in the deep south :D

YES!!
I testify!
I saw it - because I sat on the same table!! :x

Eva

You like your meat blood dripping! Always knew you were a woman after my own heart. Next time I zip over to England I am there. I will buy the Prime Rib, best cut I can find. ;) Do you make a mean Yorkshire Pudding to go with it? :D

I prefer to dine in a manner a bit more refined than McDonalds... but I am not above a Filet o Fish now and again. ;)

What is wrong with have a nice day? 8O

Di 8)

Our (German) best friends are the Netherlands... And I think the other way round as well :)
But lets wait until Tuesday in Portugal! Then the "Cheese" will be beaten be the "Krauts". LOL. Oh dear, I call myself a Kraut.

Having fun,
Martin

No problem here, Andy!!
But Deb asked me..... :lol:

Love,
Eva

Now there is a poor excuse for the destruction of a great piece of Prime Rib.... ;)

Well I seem to remember that all that was cooked was eaten - which is always a sign that the chef has cooked well :P :p

.... or that the guest merely has impeccable manners.... ;)

Next time you zip over to Uk you had better come here :D and yep even us southerners cane make Yorkshire Puds, Just like aunt bessy :lol:

Not sure why we take the mickey about "Have a nice day :?

Deb

Well I am hoping you will be zipping over to Las Vegas this September.... gosh we could have a time of it there. ;)

Invitation accepted, I have been wanting to see more of the south of England. :D

Aunt Bessie? Who's she? Homemade is the only way! And only stir the batter anti-clockwise when you make and then let it sit at room temperature for a few hours before hand!!

As for "Have a nice day" I think the mickey taking started when MacDonalds opened their first UK restaurants. Somehow it doens't sound as sincere coming from a surly spotty British teenager (with apologies to the forums own surly teenagers :D )

Ummm.... Deb, who is Aunt Bessy??? 8O

Cheese? and would Tue in Portugal be football? phew this is more confusing than I thought it would be lol.
:lol:
