I was ...No, no, I wasn't in the least offended. I was thinking about having guests from Greece in London, and remembered the story of my hairdresser. When I lived in Cambridge I had guests a couple of times from Kavala. Voula and her son moaned about pretty much everything, chiefly the food. 'Εξι χιλιάδες δραχμές για τόσο άσχημο φαγητό!' said the kid after we ate at a Chinese restaurant and he'd converted the bill. I nearly throttled him several times during that visit. Αντίθετα, Voula's sister Artemis came a year later and was the perfect guest - interested in everything, open minded about everything.Ipmilathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11370120491927658242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340240260464997376.post-82185582528437854592010-01-28T10:09:23.361+00:002010-01-28T10:09:23.361+00:00I once met an Essex girl in Tiger Tiger there in L...I once met an Essex girl in Tiger Tiger there in London, I was astounded at the cultural shock, she was was so different to any other girl I have ever met. Kind of expected her to take me home and to roll me over, maybe I secretly was hoping for that....<br /><br />www.gayoncemeanthappy.blogspot.comBubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13954984449911168005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340240260464997376.post-23830186123657424132010-01-28T09:42:14.924+00:002010-01-28T09:42:14.924+00:00@Vilges_Suola lol at the big knives and forks.

That is the reason I never go to Greek popular gathering places. I’ve never been to a Greek restaurant in London. <br />I meant my post in a nicer way possible. I wasn't complaining, really. I was just commenting on the culture differences. I find the whole region jokes very interesting. I'm sorry if I've offended you.Nik_TheGreekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00986723570093229435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340240260464997376.post-23424225911204717312010-01-28T06:01:49.425+00:002010-01-28T06:01:49.425+00:00LOL @ Juz!!!!!!!

He knew and loved London, but the Greeks complained about absolutely everything for the duration of the stay. They hated the weather, naturally. They moaned that peanuts were not supplied with whisky in the pub. They whined about the lack of bread in a Chinese restaurant, and generally behaved like mard-arsed teenagers. At length Antony agreed to take one girl out for the evening to a Greek restaurant, where she moaned that the knives and forks were too big. I suspect that if they had been a smaller group or alone, they wouldn't have felt this need to denigrate all non-Greek things. It was a kind of solidarity thing. Stupidly parochial, but there you go.Ipmilathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11370120491927658242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340240260464997376.post-78735653918109802732010-01-27T14:42:30.267+00:002010-01-27T14:42:30.267+00:00I lived there for 4 years and I heard this one jok...I lived there for 4 years and I heard this one joke you can ask a girl from Essex: It's similar to the asshole one and also in terrible taste.<br /><br />Q: Does your twat itch after sex?<br />A: No he just rolls over and falls asleep.Juzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11157283564810096498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340240260464997376.post-27578099925738607552010-01-27T14:37:58.004+00:002010-01-27T14:37:58.004+00:00wow.
