The man shouts back, "I'm English! Can't you speak English! Are you
completely ignorant, you asshole?!"
The Scot calls back, "Use both hands. You'll get more."
Sometimes English people can be totally ignorant, and this is a great way to sum it up.I get so embarrased when i see people abroad wearing football shirts, not respecting local customs and calling waiters "john".
That and making no effort to even try to learn the language where they relocate.It's an embarrasment.
Mind you that said i have to learn a new language, so i think i am bolloxed as its not an easy ones even for the locals!!
The joys of being half scots and half english, i can be roundly abusive to both parts of the uk and be self defamatory at the same time!!
