Lonan3 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1025577 A travel guide for foreigners brands the English as “overweight TV addicts obsessed by sex and celebrity”. The latest edition of the Rough Guide to England also warns potential visitors that the hearts of many towns “consist of identikit retail zones”, reported BBC. It also warns visitors that trying to talk to a stranger “can be seen as tantamount to physical assault”. And it adds: “England is a country where accent and vocabulary can stamp a person’s identity like a brand.” Aren't you just so-oo glad that the IoM is nothing like England?

Albert Tatlock Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 the Rough Guide to England Shouldn't that be 'the guide to rough England' ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollag Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I think we/they got of light, the tribalistic almost religous devotion to football teams was given a big miss. and the quality of our red top newspapers was best left out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
