    People going round in overalls or work clothes every day even if they're not working, usually with the dirt ground into their skin.

    Older people who you barely know taking offence and giving out about you to others because when you met them you just said hello and didn't have a long boring conversation with them.

    Every single rural town in the country has that one family who:
    wear ridiculous clothes, e.g vests all year round
    are very very hairy
    lack basic numeracy and literacy skills (at least in the older generation)
    lack adequate communication skills, e.g talking at an understandable pace
    can be seen from the month of june all hangin out of a 50 year old massey ferguson or on a pile of turf in the trailor, all 17 of them
    are a bit mad

    I saw some cracking looking girls when I was in Poland a few years ago, there wasn't a fella in sight either, probably because they were all here working on building sites.
