Re: North/south manners divide.

We see it here all the time, Rindy. Holiday heads, drink and rudeness are the norm.

On Saturday night a few of us were in the local bar (Spanish speaking staff with the menu written on a white board, cheap as chips but good value for money). A group of English folk turned up who were all over retirement age and seemed to be ok until they decided to eat. They treated the waitress as if she was stupid.........ordering her in loud English to find them a table for six and then shouting at her all through the meal.

We have seen similar before but this was totally out of order. They weren't on holiday either but all live in a nearby village. If you decide to live abroad at least learn a few basic words in the language.....please and thankyou comes to mind!

Anyway, sorry to ramble, I think it isn't as much as where you come from or your age, just a matter of common decency and attitude!
