[/quote] Why? I know most Europeans hate Americans. It has been made clear to me and my family every time we travel to a European country. We have been treated rudely even though we personally never did anything to them. [b]The Brits were the very worst[/b]. The Germans seemed to be nice and so did the Danish and the Norwegians. I don't plan on spending of MY hard earned money on people who hate me. So I will travel to other countries from now on. [/quote] I find this hard to believe. Most Brits like Americans. May I ask where you went in Britain? :drevil: [/quote] We have also traveled to Norway, Rome and Spain and the Brits we encountered on the way were just as rude as they were in the Canary Islands. [/quote] sure its not you? i dont know any of my fellow who hate americans. brits (and i mean not the sort you find on here who can be as rude as they like in safety behind the laptop) have no truck with americans ridiculous generalisation. there are rude people in every country. i find many french people unbearably rude, but i wouldnt generalise and say ALL french were although the canary islands, and spain in general, are full of chavvy imbreds. try somewhere a bit classier [/quote] No, I don't think we did anything to deserve the treatment we received. Anyway, if you were sitting next to me in a resort here in America and I heard your accent, I would probably buy you a drink and be genuinely interested in what you had to say, where you were from, etc. I know you aren't ALL the same. I'm sure it was the "type" of Brit that visits such resorts. I have some British friends online that I've known for 10 years and they are wonderful folks who I would love to meet. [/quote]
