Re: Mean and rude!
I spend most of my time living quite close to a couple of the capital's major tourist attractions and as such I encounter them on a daily basis. However, I do not differentiate between them - I treat them all with the contempt they deserve. When they ask for directions in broken English I pretend not to understand; when their English is reasonable and they ask for directions, I send them in the opposite direction. I tell them to get on the wrong buses and catch the wrong tube. I am often stopped and asked, right in front of a tourist attraction if that is indeed the said attraction; because these people are so stupid I tell them it is not.When it is the incorrect building or bridge, I tell them it is the correct one and as such I often offer to take their piccy's in front of the said structure. Yep, i make sure they enjoy their visit to our fine metropolis.
