The Welsh are even harder to understand. They sound like they're trying cough up a Brillo pad.

So, what is wrong with the Brits? I do have some Brits on my Facebook, try to talk to them at their time, but everybody seems to be sleeping or ignore me so much for British gentlemen or ladies 

Well your time -

6am to 2pm - they are sleeping

2pm to 3pm - they are eating breakfast and do not want a chat.

3pm to 11pm - they are at work, they cannot chat.

11pm to 12pm - they are eating dinner and do not want to chat.

12pm to 3am - they want to relax after work with some tv

3m to 6am - they want a chat but YOU wont talk as YOU are asleep !

I'm half-English. I never hear them refer to themselves as British.

 

Because Great Britain includes Wales, which they regard as the Alabama of the UK.

People on here do.

[bignok]

Why does Great Britain compete as that in Olympics? Only England in rugby and cricket.

I learned to drive in Wales, like most Americans do (it's a mini-industry). I drove through every square foot of it and no other place in Europe has such a variety of scenery in so small a space.

 

The Welsh vastly prefer Americans to The English. Just like when I lived in Suffolk, I ranked higher among the locals than a Londoner. Grudge-wise, the English beat out even the Serbs. Their grudges and accents change every 20 kms headed north.

 

I have English family living in some ex-coal mine slag heap of a town. Three generations later, they're still distinctly English and very anti-Welsh.

Maybe they ignore you because they do not know what the 4.... you are on about!

You mention 'their time' which is 6 hours behind Thailand. Listen to the phone in radio stations ie LBC or BBC 5 Live etc right now @ 09.53, and you will hear that there are many Brits wanting to talk.......but not to you unfortunately.

Your second paragraph . Suffolk and Norfolk   Southfolk and Northfolk. Slightly off topic ( if a Brit you will get it ). When I K Brunel built the bridge from Devon into Cornwall it was said it let the Devil in to Cornwall. A Cornish man I knew several years ago said ' It did my 'ansum '.

Can I guess, you are from the USA..................

This is like when I saw Bernard Manning and he said: "You always hear about Islam, but what about 'er lamb?"

 

Alan Partridge really "got" Norwich.

No, it is because YOU do not know the difference between THERE, THEIR, THEY'RE.

And in English it is 'It is nothing to do.................... NOT 'It ain't...........'

YOU should go back to whichever school you attended and get re-educated.

Cardiff is a great, drunky place to see a show. I saw Status Quo and Boney M there*. Demented.

 

*Not on the same bill, of course. That would have been like older Chav Glastonbury.
