Was a newbie, now a Middie.
Got to be honest, the most friendly and helpful peeps I ever met were on The Isle of Wight.

The most unfriendly, aggressive, stubborn, stupid and afterwards unconscious, were members of The Royal Military Police, Aldershot, Saturday nights.

Around Shropshire there are many friendly types. Shop staff are usually happy to help with a smile. There was some survey a few years back that proved this. To be honest, I find that people who don't live in cities are more relaxed, friendly and casual. Go on, prove me wrong. This is my experience in the UK (as it still is) and the countries in western Europe that I have visited. Whatever, it is Fun finding out.

Danish friends thought London was wonderful when they visited, people opening doors, saying thank you and sorry all the time gave them a good impression of the English .............. until I pointed out they were probably all foreigners too.

Been using it for years on line and I'm not really sure why. But that could be an age thing.
She says we used to keep zebra finches and it fits with the noise that they makeo_O She's usually right.

the Scots are always very friendly, until we tell them that we are not actually Scottish and the flag on our motorhome belonged to the previous owners---------bye.

Nah they are OK really.

Dux, you're being too cryptic for me - Alaskan dragons?
I used to read a lot of your posts 'on another list' in the distant past. Have you trained dragons? It's quite dangerous y'know.

No its all grey/white now but I don't want my grandson suffering all the incessant "bullying" just because I had ginger hair.

I can quite understand how black and asian people feel when subjected to racist abuse!

Me when the tw@t in the carpark who didn't have enough room for a complete swing around, decided it would be better to scrape their bumper down the side of my motorhome leaving 3 distinct paint marks, instead of using reverse gear and going backwards in the process :mad:o_O:madder::devil::wondering::envy::punch::banghead::swear::fubar::boxing::crying::swear2:

Just googled Cronkle, that's all..... Seems to be a popular surname in redneck America and there was something on the interwebby thingy about train your dragon, a Disney film. Just a guess.

If ducks tried training dragons, they would probably end up as no 43 on the local Chinese restaurant menu. :eek:

In my experience travelling around, The Brits in Britain, are mostly AOK , we had a bit of a kafuffle with a scottish lass in Kendell, we refused the Scottish Notes she wanted to give us and asked, yeh!wrong words I know ! for real money!:doh:
But Travelling the World as I have, here there and everywhere, Brits overseas I avoided, I found that most were insular, didn't want to assimulate at all,
But the people/race I have learned to distrust the most, and I've experienced this in several Countries , are the Cypriots,
Even the Greeks have a saying "Never lend a Cypriot ,your wife, Donkey, or your shotgun, they will enevitablly be returned f****d!"
I suppose that could make me a Racist, I can wear that!

Sorry mate, but struggling with this 'bullying' thing a bit, because you once had ginger hair??? Is your grandson also Ginger?? Does it matter? If it does, (for him), slip half a housebrick into his pocket, and tell him the best way to deal with bullies. (y)
By 'racist abuse', don't you mean 'colour prejudice'?

I think it's a pretty mixed bag.

People are people. Some are grumpy and some are friendly.

Obviously Cornish people and those from the North of England are weird.*

Do you mean the North West of England or the North of the UK?
You obviously don`t mean the North East of England, do you?:)
