Yes, you will note that I said MANY of them are out to rip us off. Yes, I do think that and I do think many of them are a pain in the a.rse and I'd like to give them a big kick up the clacker! Likewise, they'd be happy to do it to many of us even though they might say "you're a lovely lady, you're a nice man" etc. In reality, I bet many of them think we are a bunch of yobbo, beer swilling dipsticks who come to their country, spend up like we are bloody rockstars but in fact, many of us scrape together enough money to have the cheapest holiday we can! They need us to survive and we need them to have a cheap holiday, its cheaper for me to go there than to Queensland!
Im not "thick enough" to think they are all horror heads, like I know that not all Aussies are and I know that not all Americans arent and I know that not all Poms arent etc. My point is that in some ways, I admire those who live with the rose coloured glasses view, its far less stressful!
(ps, sorry to blaming it on PMT...okay, the devil made me do it??? I work with a guy who put a sign up above my desk that says "Yes I am agent of Satan but my duties are largely ceremonial".
