Where I live, you can be sure old people aren't arrogant, and say thanks every time I open them the door.

Way to keep them in their place!

Yeah... in your country, everybody is a problem

[red_jon]

Actually never seen a hold-up at a store before

But if you mean Wales, yeah most Welsh people are a problem

[Ming]

Maybe the old people in your country are so rude because they grew up that way, and it's the only way they have ever known

[Asher]

The obvious problems both of you face are that Brits and Americans are rude by nature.

[Ming]

Nahh... we are very polite and nice in Chicago.. it's those east coast people that are the real problem

Oh... and all the people I've ever met in Toronto were probably the friendliest in the world. It's probably my favorite big city to visit.

[Asher]

Toronto is full of arrogant *******s.

[Ming]

Maybe that's why I like it

But seriously, I have hundreds of friends their, and not one of them is arrogant...

A good chunk of my education comes from a retirement home I know very well how to please old ladies
Edit : erm, I have just noticed the tongue smiley makes the above statement more than ambiguous

[predjudice] Besides, the French are so rude these old people are just delighted when they see some youngster opening them the door [/predjudice]

[Asher]

Maybe to you.

Bring up Canadian politics...

Marge, old people don't need companionship, they need to be isolated and studied to see what useful nutrients can be obtained from them...
