silvia said:Morbyd said:One of the oddest things about the UK.... how can you have such radically different accents on such a small piece of land
In spain is the same, I have problems to understand people from the south and some from the north.
And still worst is the case of catalan and its dialects, I can't understand at all eivissenc or aranés (talked in a small valley in the pyrinees) and I have some problems with valencià and mallorquí
Maybe this is why when I went to Tossa del Mar and I used to speack in mallorquin neally everybody used to say me: ehhh!!!!! and I had to repeat again slowly.

this year
(maybe if you had more success with the spanish chicas you wouldnt write all this crap)
You obviously took the time to read all the posts in the thread I see
I was NOT TRYING TO COME DOWN ON SPANISH PEOPLE - simply confused that everyone was bashing the Italians when I found them to be very friendly and nice. All I said was that I've had no (zero, nothing, never) trouble in Ibiza ever and that the people that wanted to start trouble with us this year spoke Spanish.
The fact that in two of the occasions they seemed to know the security at the venue led me to the conclusion that they might even have been locals.
But who am I to know.
I've always found both nationalities to be absolutely fine.
In fact we've had some great times with Spaniards and Italians.
One thing i noticed in Space was when i was with a Spanish guy who knew some Italians and the Italians apparently said to him "who's this?" to which the Spanish guy replied "some English guy (and his girlfriend) we met earlier. He's English but he's cool"
Gave me the immediate impression the English can be looked down upon.
Most people think i'm Italian (with a good attitude of course ) when i've been in the sun anyhow.

That sort of what we experienced too.. like ..
"OOOhhh you're NOT British... can I get you anything?"
What?silvia said:Drew said:Maybe the language barrier again ..... but which bit?
I'm assuming the last 5 words? Funny ..... really?
It's quite surprising that people on here always blame language barrier when my opinion is different to theirs
Not a difference of opinion - i just don't understand why it is funny???
You usually seem defensive if anyone makes unpopular remarks regardings someone's nationality yet this time it is funny to you for some reason.
That was the reason for my confusion.
Morbyd said:Though I do have problems understanding the Scottish accent sometimes
me too, I cant understand geordie accent either. I am absolute poo with accents.
On a fight once the air hostess came round, and after speaking to her, I said to Paul, "arh, I think the Welsh accents cute" to which he replied "she was French"

Drew, I think it's the 7th time in one or two months that people on here justifies my comments with a lost in translation thing, that's why I made my last comment.
The comment it's not nice but it's a topic made sentence, I think you are one of the most "conscients" of the image of brits abroad so that shouldn't be a suriprise for you
What I found funny is that this guy made such a comment in front of you
it's not the comment itself, it's the fact that the guy had no problem to said that to you Leese said:Morbyd said:Though I do have problems understanding the Scottish accent sometimes

Ang is like you Leese.
A (very) cockney neighbour of ours came around one evening last week. Was talking to him for about 2 hours and when he'd left Ang thought he was from Brum
She's accused someone of being Irish when they were blatently American recently too.
Maybe she needs her hearing looking at?
