You're going to be mortified when you come back to visit. You barley get eye contact let alone common courtesy and decency
I was back last weekend and people were alright - probably coz most were red and white. I get back 4-5 times a year but bar family, friends and footie i don't miss it. London is what it is, a big, manic melting pot but having lived there 12 years i don't get shocked by blank stares, stilted conversation and the rest. Altho i did have some argy with some twat on a bus a year ago. I just wouldn't want to live there anymore. Having said that, my Sis still lives there and there's a nice little friendly vibe in the community where she works. Some people are decent, some are rude ****ers. Same the world over. I Just try and have nowt to do with the rude ****ers if i can help it, coz the bad ones boil my piss.
Darlo is ****. No body gives a ****, they're horrid to each other. Doctors and dentists have a real knack of making you fell a burden. The constant language barrier is problem too. Cold society here.
That sucks mate. What's the language barrier issue, may i ask? My cousin lives in darlo and her kids must be getting close to finishing sec. school, no idea how she still finds it tho. Last time i was 'home' i was very disappointed how soulless the vilage i grew up in felt. Pubs closed, limited community spirit and all that. It had a cracking little vibe when i grew up and even after i'd flown the nest until the last few years or so. All a bit weird, really. People here say hello and bye to the bus driver, kids, adults the lot - and he returns the jesture. I actually enjoy going to the shop coz people are nice and genuinely helpful. Family time/dinnertime is adhered to almost religiously. Kids walk freely on the streets on the way to school. Good old fashioned values. people are interested in who you are, not what you do. Obviously there's some twats about, but they don't survive long in a society that has had to stick together to survive. Move to Finland mate. Good healthcare, hot women, healthy nature stuff and me of course
To main two problems with the language barrier are 1. foreign health care professionals leave a complete lack of empathy or 'bed side manner', gone, doesn't exist any more, and 2. This pisses me off the most. It's lazy, blunt English from young people and a complete lack of care and attention in their work. The polish come and they work their fingers to the bone and are really polite (taxi drivers round here mostly) and have a fantastic work ethic, then we have English nationals who just don't give a **** any more. We're now getting the kids, kids of the lower class thatcher generation and it makes you ashamed to be British. You don't even get a hello and goodbye from most of the bus drivers here, they don't even help mothers with pushchairs any more, they just lower the hydraulics on the bus and look the other way. Been watching some documentary's on Scandinavian life and it looks amazing fella, mind you, fashion sense in clothes and more importantly home décor and furnishings looks dreadful.
i admit to having mint green, mid blue, mustard and red coloured chinos! a gentlemans bike for town and a picnic basket thing for the back. total ponce in the summer, but love it. they have cracking summer music festivals too. i like the poles. firey independent bastards, but warm-hearted with it. very hard working and love a party. you'd think they were from the north east. have a good weekend fella
You're welcome to move down to where I live Funk. Just moved 3 miles from a small town near Bedford into a village last year. Like a different country altogether. Everyone is so damn friendly and polite. Even the kids! Great small village local as well.
If there was ever a global drink-off it would be us, the Poles and the Irish. The Finns would give it a right good go, too.
