They're all hiding in burrows mate that's why.

For those of of a certain age, that one.

The correct fortnight for such a pun.

Is it a Wombles reference?

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Honestly you'd be shocked how many here think that, but I am not lol

You sure?

Na, meant its more what you associate Brits with

Shouting loudly at foreigners

"CAN I HAVE CHIPS WITH MY SALAD PEDRO*"


*has no idea if server is called Pedro either, but sounds Iberian

Honestly with a much more orderly way of life - even something as simple as simple greetings anywhere you go, queues in the shop (HAHA FUNNY I KNOW STEREOTYPES) and all that is much better than the utter chaos we have here. Don't get me started on driving and stuff like

Also naturally lads on holiday - seen them a lot around our seaside in the "British" pubs shouting for chips and beer and wearing nappies cuz they're literally pissing themselves boozed up at 10am. Grown men FFS

Sorry. I don't get out much.

It's because other people want to integrate, whereas we go to a country without knowing a word of the native language and return 10 years later barely knowing any still.

Had a few run-ins with fellow Bulgarians in 2nd-3rd and onwards year in uni who barely understood any bit of a Scottish accent, shocking. Not even talking someone with a hardcore Glaswegian one or something, we're talking cashiers at the Tesco asking a basic question here lol

Made hiding myself easier at least I guess.

Feels like I've entered the arena against my own people here really. NO RAGERTS

Doubt many English could understand a Scottish accent tbh. I could walk past a group of old boys talking and would take me a while to figure out they were speaking English.

The small towns are the worst with weird slang.

More chance of understanding Bulgarian than Scottish.

Skill issue.

But also I'm talking about city centre Glasgow and in uni, not a lot of slang to be seen really.

These people graduated btw, how they understood ANYTHING is beyond me. Also you had to do either TOEFL or IELTS as exams, both have reading, listening and comprehension, and you have to pass them to qualify for uni in the UK.

Between @peteblue and @Rita_Poon re-establishing their virtual flirt off and others trying to out geek each other, this place is a shadow of what it could be.

Can someone call the Bailiffs to get the Squatters out before they wreck the joint.
