Do the Forum rules allow such blatant racism?

(once did that ayram thing though - never again!)


 :)Not racism Jac nor was it blatant,it was afollow up from Highlanders self admission about buying in a shop,don't say you have never heard an Irish joke,
Anyway another way to spot a Brit is the white socks as someone said, but with one pulled up and the other round his ankle. ;)

In the 80's it was dead easy- matching his n hers shell suits and new for the hols perms( both men and women). The people buying from the beach vendors- either the snide perfume or the apple pies ( spot the apple).
Being suprised on the beach when theyre charged for the beds and umbrellas.
Actually enjoying Ian Rush's patter
Looking scared on dolmus a) no idea how much, b) where to get off c) at how packed it is

The way this topic reads it seems that you can tell the Brits in Turkey because they are the ones sneering at their fellow Brits.

OK then, I think driving on the left-hand side of the road is a bit of a giveaway.

How do you spot a British person who has had a holiday in Turkey?

He is wearing a Fake Rolex, smoking fake Golden Virginia roll up cigarettes, wearing a fake Man Utd shirt and his kids have fake Henley T shirts on and Burberry caps and the missus is drenched in fake perfume and carrying a fake Louis Vitton bag, telling everyone they had a great holiday and it was so cheap apart from the beer in the airport.:D and complaoi ning that the fresh milk is a bit salty :-\

Apart from the smoking bit I think I describe my family perfectly:D. Oh and the Man Utd shirt, over his dead body 8).

Yes, but not for long. Some helpful motorists going in the opposite direction kindly pointed out to me the error I had made.
