How Patriotic?

My kids exchange Eid and Christmas cards with their schoolfriends too, and get both in return.

Well guys i can only tell you what i get told.The Germans tell me i have to respect the ways of the country i live in, even if i feel that they are wrong.I believe that this is what its all about.However i tell them that they have to respect my views on certain things that i find wrong.
This way it comes to a better understanding of 2 cultures living together.Its tolerance that counts and being English i can understand all this.After all i was ashocked when i saw the new housing estate on Ormerod street and the names being in Hindu on the street plates.How can anybody be expected to integrate when there is no incentive to learn.
My 2 girls here love fish#n# chips but also like the bavarian local dishes too.Its hard to meet a happy medium but that can only be done when tolerance is shown from both sides
