English tossers give Brits a bad name in Poland

The Parliament of the United Kingdom. See, there is more than one. Stormont was formed in 1926, we have had our own devolved Parliament since 1999 and there is the Welsh Assembly. Brown occupies the top position of the one in England :)

I've read the quote, what behaviour? Sorry, I don't see what you mean at all.

Get your facts straight, there is no government of england because it was never devolved.
And before you go hyping them up the devolved governments only govern local issues while the parliament of the united kingdom governs all the areas and retains many powers over them all. In other words they are second to the parliament at Westminster and thats a fact whether we like it or not.

I meant physically in England and you know it, the main one :)

I'm not going to hype them up as they don't have tax-raising powers and are largely without teeth, unlike Westminster :)

Who is we?

Wow the main UK parliament happens to be situated in England, well it had to be somewhere didn't it. It still represents all of the United Kingdom. If your implying that somehow gordon brown rules over England then your very wrong because he is only the head of government and not the government, democracy springs to mind.


You, me and anyone else that doesn't like it.

He is still primus inter pares, though. He makes the key decisions for GB so England is naturally affected.

Thats very true but he doesn't rule he only leads the government many of which are English and if he loses their support he is gone.

Whats worse being a Tosser or a W-a-nk-e r???

Savage Hooligans running amuck across the land

Maybe it all stems from a deeper hatred

True enough, BE. Well, they have the Whip system so they have to 'artificially' tow the line :) Ah well, he's not a true Scot in the eyes of many Scots anyway.

There are always hateful cores in society, sledz. You might be right with that one.

Idiots who can't control themselves exist in all countries.
But if you go abroad it's even more important to behave well, so you don't give your countrymen bad reputation.

Would you say that some countries behave better than others when abroad ?

Thats the basis of my argument.

I think it is highly connected with the view of the country which you have in your mind. If you rate country low or lower than yours in your mind when you drunk you can do that. Sometimes that could be even encouraged by your friends ( making picture when you pissin to fountain naked ) to show to your friends back home how cool you were. Notice that when you rate country higher or on the same level you rather wont do that. Example for average British man - Japan, Germany, France.

Can i ask why you posted that link :-/


I would say you were right.

Very true, some behave worse than others. But can anyone here truly say that they have never been embarrassed by their fellow countrymen/women when on holiday abroad? I know I have, I remember a trip to Greece where I almost felt like learning a different language so as not to be associated with some of the people there (and half of them were the people I went with!).

I have to admit that I take my holidays in places where there are few Brits around.

It was one of the reasons I liked taking holidays in Poland

Me too.

Try Toruń. There aren't any stag parties there, and if there were, they'd be locked up in the twinkling of an eye.

I was stopped by police on three times on a night out, just checking papers. We were two middle-aged (ish) men, one of us Polish. If anything that level of policing is overkill, but for sure there wasn't any rowdiness in the streets that evening.

Yeah I have been in that situtation too, only it was with a set of females, whom I went to school with, but get them in "pack" and anything can happen. You are never sure what is going to happen next. I like a good laugh, with the best of people, but some people go too far. I think the key factor is the "pack mentality", where they feel safe and secure in the group that they know, which give them licence to do whatever they like.

I am the opposite but i don't go to the areas that are well know for trouble.

And you're still with us?? Lucky man!!

Lol yeah , met two girls who invited me and mate up for the weekend. Interesting place :-)
