| damkira said: Living in an area with a high concentration of British people and talking to them daily, there are a few things I've noticed which are very different between British and American people. I've always wondered why British men insist upon wearing capri pants? It looks silly and gay at that. I'm gay and it took me back a bit to find that all these people are not homosexuals but British tourists. Its also strange to me that British people call Sprite lemonade. I wonder if they don't have real lemonade in the UK? Its delicious and easy to make... but the only thing that really bugs me about British tourists is that they don't seem to know how to tip correctly.. I mean, if the service is terrible then a bad tip is fine but an 5% tip on excellent service is insulting. I'm sure British people could go on and on about the foibles of American tourists, too.. and the above post wasn't meant to insult anybody. |
Those bloody capri pants!!! WHY!
You have a point. You see huge tattooed skin-headed members of the ELF acting all hard and then you see their little pants. You have to laugh.
I don't understand this phenomenon. Not as bad as round here where the local chavs tuck their pants into their socks!?!
As for tipping whats wrong with a bowl at the till to make it a choice. When I go into a restuarant the price I see on the menu is the price I want to pay. I dont then want to add 15% or whatever it is in America on top of it. You don't buy a book and then have to add an extra 15% on top of the advertised price? or a new console and have to add an extra whatever to the price in front of you?
It seems to be mandatory over there. Don't you pay your staff? They get a wage over here.
Can you tell I've just got up by the numerous post I've made?
