What do British feel?

[pennybarry]

Hitler bequeathed that stupid lip eyebrow to his fellow madman Mgabwe We aint really bothered what people say about us Pen sticks and stones will break our bones but names wont really hurt us

Like tawi2 said just words.

Like if in worklife everytime someone who knows you indirectly said a bad word or was critical about you, and you got worried about it. But its always worth taking and inward look to see if the criticism is valid. In many cases it is with the UK. with this bloke, I just think its because in the eyes of many Iranians the UK and US are like Brothers and the US they want to leave alone possibly?

Thanks Tawi and Somebody!!!
I understand now about UK parliament debate. It's just words and not stones. I have noticed after debate, it seems nothing happened

Filipinas (not all) are sensitive. Sometimes, even in this forum, members became enemies just because of bad comments against someone. This happens really even if they don't meet yet. I witnessed this to some members.
No offense please!!! I think we need to change for good. Wake up! We are filipino british

Ehehehhe I google the word Kinesics as it's sounds new to me. Never heard it before

You're right and you're absolutely aware of what's happening around

We have something in common but u r more brilliant

[Tawi2]

Not brilliant pen,just used to have a job where a knowledge of body-language,and the ability to read people was useful,people are easy to understand,but equally as easy to misunderstand

Many companies including my own have a whole number of training lessons/courses on the subject.

Amazing how many well qualified and trained people cant deal with tough situations as they just cant deal and understand people and the effect they themsleves have on people.

It wasnt actually an office environment Somebody,I was never academic enough,but i did a few useful courses,first know thine enemy and all that,long time ago now

Like you say doesn't need to be an office enviroment, used the try and understand and take note of people way since I was a kid just comes naturally for me.

One situation I found it useful was as a student when working in a supermarket. Learning not all customers think good service it the same. Ie one wants you to be their mate another wants you to call them sir/madam and treat them like royalty. Some want to chat and others don't.

Filipinas have these skills as people who are very socially aware lying dormant in some cases. My Wife in her job at a Department store outsold all other staff the special Gala night tickets. I asked her how she did it and said well you just need to judge people ie the right person at the right time, in the right mood etc.. Which she work out from of course a few moments.

She also had problems with people complaining in her workplace, but now realises she has the good social skills learned over her lifetime with her new found confidence and learning that brit people are differnt (regardless of orignal background) to calm people down and deal with them as needed.

Very true those that get on with life well (does not always mean wealth) seem to be able to handle comments good and bad and take them in their stride.

I noticed many phills seem to find that hard. For example my Wife finds it hard when either her bosses at work give her a critcal but overall a good review. But slowly in her own time she realises they are being good to her.

See how many Brits on here are sometimes harsh in the way they help people. Telling them the blunt truth. But its often for the persons own good.

Its also many British people to only be rude or cheeky to those who they know or feel comfortable with.

[Tawi2]

Thats true,we have a tendency as a nation to be blunt to the point of rudeness at times,we arent the most tactful of people,I call my mates wa**ers etc,etc,they are equally as rude to me but its without malice Pinoys have a tendency to err on the side of caution,going way overboard not to offend someone Its a little thing called saving face

I remeber speaking to one of the Wifes cousins who is a lawyer in Manila and works with yanks and Brits. She didn't understand the British very polite to those they don't know so well and always teasing and almost rude to one another

Our Family group as we dropped off the Cousin at her place in town she works at bumped into a bunch of the Brits. So we ended up all eating together at first all us Brits very polite with one another by the end of the night we are taking the mick out of our differences. I.e those from up north and south etc, football teams etc.

All the phills were baffled We had gone from Brit politness to almost open warfare

[Tawi2]

Somebody,I met a british guy when I was out with friends in Davao,he was from newcastle and an ex-squaddie,funny guy,he was a bit drunk,after a couple of hours the pinoys in the group thought we were going to have a fight because he was calling me a wa**er and I was telling him to F-off But we were actually getting on great
No Pen,just Gracy and I have walked along the same streets but at different times.

Our Barangay Captain in Laguna worked with Brits before and when he learned that my hubby is British, he said, wow!!! they are polite people. But other visitor said. NO, they always swear We were talking in his office and they ended up arguing if Brits are polite or rude

Hubby's first time in Pinas was funny. Everytime we go to malls, security guards always greet us Good morning Sir/Mam. Every person in our street who greet him and smile at him, Hubby always spoke to them. He said, Penny, I have noticed you don't greet every person who greets you. Say Hi to them and have a word with them

I said they are many so I just smiled at them. If I speak with them like you do, we will always go home late.

Well said Somebody

My hubby is the same, if he is trying to correct my fault, I knew he was right as he knows more than I knew but sometimes i don't like his ways to correct me as I feel he's harsh. But then I correct his way too as I cannot tolerate his way.

My boss at factory was the same. He is one of the most honourable boss I've ever had here. But sometimes he looks harsh if machines are in trouble.
One time, I had a word with him. I said, you're one the best boss I've ever had but I don't like you talking to machines if in trouble. You look crazy he laughed

I'm learning too much in Britain. And hubby's family alway said you're learning fast

[Pepe n Pilar]

If someone badly criticized our country (Pinas), we feel sometimes upset. These past few months, some head of the countries critized and gave bad comments about Britain government. What do British feel about this?


Last time, Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe said there's demons at #10 Downing st.
This past few days, Ayatollah Khamenei's described the British government as "evil"

Are they telling true? Are there many evils here than Zimbabwe and Iran?

When someone criticises the Philippines of course filipinos feel bad about it especially if the critic is a fellow filipino. Some say that they didn't have a good life out there hence they are just being "sour grapes"...

Yes that bombed was worst but Japanese were also worst during that war. My Mom and Dad, grandparents told us some bad history against Japanese.

But Japanese felt guilty about their wrongs and did changed for better now.

Konnichiwa!!! Arigato!!!

My paternal grandmother told us stories and their experiences during the WW11. I have heard so much brutality done by the Japanese to the filipinos from my parents and grandparents. Although we didn't experience it but our grandparents/parents did, so we somehow has hate/grudges felt to the japenese. Shall we apply the forgive and forget sayings here?.. I guess so..

Filipinas (not all) are sensitive. Sometimes, even in this forum, members became enemies just because of bad comments against someone. This happens really even if they don't meet yet. I witnessed this to some members.

What??? members here became enemies??? bad comments against someone??? who are they?... I read a thread one time and i was surprised they mentioned very private matters. I guess if those are very private or just concerning the two of them why not use the PM rather than post it in the forum? Forum replies/posts should be intended only to the subject matter...

Same with me Penny i have notice it too and it's disgusting to know that people had never met yet or some had met in person but targeting personal matters in the forum.

If there are topics here that members find it interesting and/or they have something to contribute or share to others they reply to the best of their knowledge and when some noticed it is the opposite of their beliefs/views they are offended...

May a person be Filipino or British it doesn't matter, what is important is he/she maintains those good traits and dump old and rubbish ones....

Cheers!
