Problem being, as more countries take to English, our own language is going backwards.


There is always an issue with slang and dialect. My old man was taught proper queens English and although speaks with an accent used to help me out with meanings of words. He's also **** hot at countdown

But the street lingo throws him and he often jokes "does no one speak English here, anymore"
 
As an asian I have been frustrated by foreigners speaking bad English. Think I spoke about a call centre call to India where the guy wasn't called Derek and I offered to speak in Hindi as I couldn't make a word of what he was saying

However with the NHS situation I think it's media **** stirring and another way to bash foreigners (which fits the climate at the moment imo)

Rather than just saying these pissed up knobs are causing trouble it has to be "frustration at inability to speak English"

As if English skills when pissed are something they can complain about. Deciphering a pissheads complaint is an art

<laugh>

And yeah, it's a bullshit excuse blaming assaults on NHS staff being because of frustration at an inability to speak English. The assaults aren't just against foreign workers anyway, it's across the board. Part of it is drink and drugs, part of it is this sense of entitlement that we were talking about and people getting frustrated because they have to wait and don't get their needs met in what they consider to be a timely manner.

That comes down to an over stretched and under funded NHS.
 
Just seen the vdo of the coppers getting a pasting. **** sat in his car giving commentary.

Now a new law is coming in it seems.Good, stops ****s like that

If you thought that was funny, did I tell you about the iranian guy (with bad English) and the big Scottish chef (heavy accent so bad English too <laugh>)


Was working for the iranian in a pizza place. The Scot was a chef in prince of Wales hotel. Big fat fella who would pop in for a kebab

Anyway Iranian guy is standing drinking tea. Which they do in glasses and it's not got milk in it. So the Scot comes in and says

"Hope that's black currant" as it did look like whiskey etc

Iranian says (in heavy accent). "**** off you fat Scottish bastard"

Neither understood what the other had said. Luckily I had realised what happenned and was able to make sure the Scot didn't understand the iranian


If you havent figured it the iranian heard "how are you black ****"

And the Scot heard gibberish

That whole milk in tea thing is a classic example of British ignorance at other customs and expecting that everybody else should do it because the Brits do. We just cannot fathom how other cultures are aghast at the idea of putting cows milk in your tea.

Have to say the iranians would put a sugar cube in their mouth and their tea, black and no sugar, over it

It's fantastic

Like the Moroccans with mint tea. 5 or 6 teaspoons of sugar in a glass the size of a thimble <laugh>

Yeah I just watched the video too. So there were 2 perps and 2 coppers. Seems like a routine police stop of a car.

It kicks off, the perps get sprayed and stuff. One is scuffling with a male officer , a fall officer is trying to drag the perp off. Second one sort of jump kicks her, then a guy on a bike stops and helps the police restrain one perp. The other runs away


So the public DID help but the female copper was badly trained as she was a liability imo
