Annoying but funny.

left wing racism is "funny"? So you think the Ku Klux Klan is "funny"?

Its a sad day when someone considers on this forum that i'm the one with the problem when all i want is for people that come to the UK to enjoy the benefits of living there that i just think that they should be able to talk in English to an acceptable level

WTF?

The original post from Jon was about GEOGRAPHY!!!! Not English skills!?!?!?!?!

My sister in law is Polish and her English isn't perfect but it's good enough. She may be "foreign" but she's a much nicer person than a lot of the natives in the UK. Shouldn't how nice someone is and what they contribute to society be rated a bit more important than English skills?

If Jon's workmate wasn't able to speak English to an acceptable level I very much doubt they'd be working in a job which involves them directly serving customers.

You seem to fall into the typical trap of a lot of British people, I don't like the place I live in so the whole country has gone to **** and I'm moving to another country.

Where I live we basically have English people, English speaking Welsh people and a few Welsh speakers. Personally I find this boring as there is not much diversity.

"Music of Black Origin" is the usually accepted term.

In the 1950s rock and roll was "black music" and before that jazz was "black music". I don't think that nowadays anyone calls rock'n roll or jazz "black music", at least not anyone under 80 year old.

Lucky you. Once in an American department store my colleague asked if they had mobile phones. The sales person didn't know what a mobile phone was until I asked for cell phones. In a restaurant my colleague asked a waitress where the toilets are, the waitress didn't understand until I asked where the restrooms are.

Go back to Finlandia with your mobile phones and your toilets! :p

With all due respect The U.S.A. has enormous pockets where English is spoken intelligibly by the minority.
(and I'm not referring to proper grammar). Immigrants of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century felt duty-bound to learn proper English,
and I mean "pronto". The same cannot be said of immigrants, and refugees of the latter twentieth.
Is this a racist statement? I think not. Intolerance of the sort that John spoke of is.
