Ignorant rude people with no manners

Life in England is very stressful, park in the wrong place and you get clamped, knocked over because they want to make sure they get on the train, etc.etc. England has become very aggressive. And you will eventually become aggressive too. Someone will give you agro on the one day you decide that you are no longer going to take it. Boom, bang, it's done. Just think how consuming it is to go home and stew about it, when you could have said a few choice words and the mouthy blaggers would have backed down. It's all bravado.

Just a thought. Are the 'middle-class' types the rudest group of people within the community for a reason? Maybe they're angry at having to be beasts of burden for the economic and social responsibilty of this rotten-to-the-core country. Let's face it, the chavs and the toffs hardly contribute to the common good. And they're all as rude as f**k.
Or is there just a shortage of really good anger management counsellors?

K Gallo I lived in Canada for 3 yrs and belive me I found plently rude and aloof people there and these people exist the world over so dont come to this country and single us out Canada is just as bad and if you dont like this country then bye bye.

I picked on KGallo because I found her most offensive whether she's North American or not!! And yes I agree we all come across people who don't have great manners but the majority of people are fine,I could have been offended when k.gallo suggested that I 'choke on my porkie pies' but I chose not to be.It has just led me to believe that maybe k.gallo is getting the same treatment as she is dishing out.I was in no way rude towards KGallo I merely stated my thoughts and quite rightly said if she dosent like it she CAN move back. 'porkie pies' by the way is just an old saying,it means to tell a lie or exaggerate the truth. And no, I don't use my elbows as weapons tho I have a feeling KGallo does! Maybe KGallo needs to review her attitude and manners?

Successive Labour governments have turned Britain into a country of foreigners, many of whom, most conspicuously the Poles and South Africans, work harder and are head and shoulder above most of the indigenous population in every way.

The locals, in the majority, unfortunately have become polarised into two types. Government sponsored bullies and pathetic little wimps who submit to the state bullying and occasionally fight back by venting their pent up aggression on others. It is a police state in which the innocent are persecuted and the guilty get away with - literally - murder.

Manners and dignity have been eroded, as have honesty and family values. It is a sad and tragic place and it is no wonder so many people are leaving. I hope Tony Smug and Grasping Gordon and all the rest of those pondlife are happy with what they have achieved.

KGallo, have you never met rude people before coming to Britain, are there no rude people in Canada?

I find the rude people in my local supermarket to be foreigners, the Spanish, shoving in front with total disregard for whatever you may be looking at at the time. I tell people now, tell them to their face and see how embarrassed, cowering and humble they become.

Rudeness is everywhere am afraid, just have to turn it around and fire back at them.

Hi Digsy, very polite of you to center out the one person on this thread who is North American. Typical. Did you even bother reading the rest of the threads before putting in your two cents? You are one of those people elbowing me in the supermarket to get that jug of milk in a hurry aren't you? I would go back to Canada, if we didn't sell everything we owned to come here for my husband's job, and the weather-to get away from the snow, which, is xhit here anyways, trust me the first chance we get we are out of here and never looking back. Even Prince Harry doesn't like this stupid country. May I suggest you crawl back under the rock you came from and go choke on some porkie pies whatever the hell those are.

Im sorry but I really think kgallo is telling porkie pies.Im always polite (instilled by years of head clouting if I forgot to mind my p,s and q,s by mam and nana) and usually find that a smile and a polite please and thank you go a long way.As canada's so wonderful and you obviously know where it is,may I suggest you go back?

I moved to England from Canada this past August with my husband and then 18 month old daughter. I am shocked at the ignorance, arrogance and downright rudness people have in this country. I will use shopping for food as one of my examples. People here will put their elbow in your face to get that jug of milk you are looking at without so much as an excuse me or anything. I cannot count how many times somebody has jumped in front of me in a grocery store to get something without any acknowledgment to my existence. It is disgusting. I have said sorry to people who have knocked into me, they have bumped into me and I apoligize to them and they give me a dirty look. The other day in Asda a little girl about 5 years old said excuse me to get by and I almost started crying because it was the first time I heard that since arriving here in 'Great Britan. It is very sad how cold people are to each other here. No thank you's, no please no nothing. I regret ever coming here.

I can entirely identify with what you say, Britain has become a nation of bullies, rude, aggressive, people with no patience or manners.What a shame!

The title of the post fits Volvo Driver to a T. Volvo Driver is the person you dread meeting on holiday.

The only race I've encountered as being rude and mannerless are the Albanians.

If you are a Brit, they regard you as being and English pig. Scottish, Welsh or Irish, doesn't matter for you are still an English pig.

As a taypayer you can be assured your money is being spent keeping them up to date and equipped with the latest mobile phone, roof over their head, beer plentiful and all billls paid.

Why else do you get out of your bed in the morn?
