Rudeness

[Jacqui Harvey]

Yes, John, I would also say Oui,  I worked with French people for 18 months they can be very rude.
I think the best manners I have ever experienced are in the States, the people are so well mannered, and it's lovely to have doors held open for you and for men to step out of the way and let you pass first.

If you want rude...try queueing on a boat full of germans.

Better still.Try arriving at Liverpool John Lennon airport with an American passport as my husband has.My husband had no reading glasses with him and had to fill in an imigration form (he has dual American/British citizenship).He asked the passport control officer for help filling the form in and was told 'NO' followed by 'you aren't getting in until the form's filled in'.As you can imagine I was REALLY proud of my own native City.....(NOT)

I dont like the arriving/passport/visa at Dalaman, they are sooo miserable, but its ok, because i am on holiday, and they are all working..

Hmm, they all smiled at me when I arrived.

Then again, just grin at them and say merhaba - works every time

Well I have been around the block a fair number of times and ,for me it's the people of Ireland who take pride of place - no question.
