[img]German humor does not translate very well. While the Germans can understand British humor because most speak English, most German jokes when translated into English are no funnier than the average till receipt.[/img]

haha, the site is great!

an english butler search engine indeed?
Anyway Jana, I spent a couple of years in Germany with the british army and served some months in West Berlin as well. I think the article you refer to does us Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish a disservice actually- we are all classified as Brits, not just the english.
i am surprised at Jaq though- a british asian who calls India the motherland does not deserve to be a british citizen. If you are a British citizen of asian origin then your obligation as such a citizen is to the UK not India. I support David Blunketts new laws on British citizenship that forces emmigrants and other foreigners who wish to to come to Britain permanently to swear an oath to the British Crown. I mean no offence Jaq, just trying to ensure you know what being a uk citizen means. We are meant to be a multi cultural society.
