Ok book ... here's the final post from me in this little debate you have started:

1) Weather. You come off as a bit rude, "shouldn't you have prepared yourself, yak yak yak". OK Logic 101. Where did I blame you on the typhoons here? Also, without the aid of a crystal ball, I can't determine what the weather will be here. What's to say I didn't educate myself on the weather here and still came here anyway

James, I don't think that is being rude. That is your perception. I am only pointing out, that if you read about our weather/climate conditions then you would know what to expect. What is wrong suggesting? Reading a bit about the country would help don't you think? So you wouldn't caught out moaning/complaining! Hear your tone.


BlessBooks, I am talking about (how many times have I said this) WHAT YOU LIKE ABOUT LIVING IN THE UK! I LIKE THE WEATHER! KNOCK KNOCK! If I wanted to take the same tone as you, I'd say: Don't you think you should read the first post in a thread before you get all righteous!

Yes, James, I read your comments, if not all, almost all. And it is you who has to go through it again ... you've forgotten you've made comments - not about your loving/living in the UK. Please do not just see but look/Please do not just hear but listen to your tone. You started a thread, and everyone is welcome to say anything. Good or bad, acceptable or not and am talking about two parties here. If one says something, you can expect one to say something as well, whether that one likes it or not.


2) Glad you're not contesting this one. Finally getting somewhere!


3) Yes there is need to mention it in great detail. When's the last time you heard a brit telling anyone how proud they are of their country? I'm pretty sure this is the only thread I've seen in any forum of this kind. Yet, every day I am being hit with pinoy pride and pilipinas kong mahal. If you don't like a topic that says "Proud to be British" then don't read it, and heck, don't post! It makes sense. Hit the back button in your browser


This is where the rudeness bit you are talking about. Manners please! Who is rude now? Forum is a medium for open discussion or voicing of ideas.
I said, there is no need to mention in great detail the bad experiences (of people I met here including me) bec I am here in the UK and it would not help moaning and complaing, I'd rather embrace and experience and accept it. Yes, again the topic is PROUD TO BE BRITISH. It got me interested in the topic hoping to learn something from it. I wanted to know/learn what BRITISH PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THEIR COUNTRY AND WHAT THEY ARE PROUD ABOUT. How come then, that you awere talking about something else and makking comparison. Okay, you love/like the weather, then explain why? Your world class education, then explain it. It is very elementary.


4) Deary me Bless, we gotta clear things up a bit here. I live in Philippines. I am British. This is the FILIPINO UK forum. I am comparing what I like in UK with the other thing I know which is the Philippines. It makes sense, since that's kinda the topic of the forum we're on! Again, if you didn't like what I had said why not just use the back button in your browser like I shall any time I see you reply to one of my posts?

Deary James, that is exactly what I am saying. Don't you get it? You can say what you like and stick to that. I mean, you have to be precise what you are talking about. TITLE IS PROUD TO BE BRTISH, say the things you are proud about being British isn't? Then Why are comparing two opposite poles. You should have a different topic.
Have the title, then messages follows. DON'T DEVIATE FROM THE TOPIC. If you are to compare UK from PHILIPPINES, then have another title. It is not about me liking the topic or not, it is about contents of the topic.


As for the book and loving the UK, if you don't love it, why not leave it? You could sell your book online from the Philippines


Talking about world-class education? Where are you educated? What about world-class manners? You are being too personal now. I am not going to bite that.
LIVE AND LET LIVE. It is sad that just one thread could display your character.
