The English take the pish out of everyone and everything, it's part of our culture believe it or not but if people think that we are a bunch of xenophobes then you should visit here. it is one of the most racially diverse nations on the planet and in parts of london there are over 60 different languages spoken in a 2 mile radius.

Many people rip the pish out of the English-tea drinking, pompous, bad teeth etc. We are not remotely bothered because we have thick skins.

You will find that most English (including myself) get on with anyone and indeed a very good friend of mine is Slovakian and I am on good speaking terms with a Hungarian and a Pole (they do all happen to be female!) So lighten up. You do not seriously think that we would post genuine racial slurs do you? It's called humour.

Now where's that cat....
