I'm not ignoring you guys...

... but I can't reply to your postings on my stereotypes post, 'cos I don't get a reply button for some reason.

Sheila, fine ye ken we cannae spell doon hame, an' onywey ye kent whit ah wiz sayin'.

emilid, I think you've guessed where my money was - interestingly my boss was betting on the English for reasons best known to himself.

Everyone, this was meant as a piece of whimsical nonsense, with no truth in it other than that which you yourself percieve. if you have been amused, I am glad, if you have been offended, I am stricken with remorse and sadness, and I offer my unreserved apologies.

Someone who doesn't recognize satire and irony must have complained!

I'd wager you won your bet, though!

I thought I might hide this in here !! You are already in enough trouble
heres some clothing/fashion tips for travellers!
1. A nose ring and bifocals.


2. Spiked hair and bald spots.


3. A pierced tongue and dentures.


4. Miniskirts and support hose.


5. Ankle bracelets and corn pads.


6. Speedo's and cellulite.


7. A belly button ring and a gall bladder surgery scar.


8. Unbuttoned disco shirts and a heart monitor.


9. Midriff shirts and a midriff bulge.


10. Bikinis and liver spots,


11. Short shorts and varicose veins.


12. Inline skates and a walker.


13. Thongs and Depends.


And the ultimate "Bad Taste" in fashion for the "Older Folks" --


14. Pierced Nipples that hang below the waist.

Yeah I know...barely travel related ! But humour is international !

BTilke, I can think of plenty to say on European women, b ut I'm a coward! My wife has 3 different strains of European blood, so it doesn't leave me much room for manoeuvre
