People of other countries you get on well with, and those you don't.

A very general thread, I admit, but I want it to be generalistic. As a general rule, which countries' people do you tend to get on with. On holiday, on nights out, that you've bumped into etc. I was got thinking about this thread by the Northern Irish one here in AH.

Personally, I've only ever met lovely Germans. They're always polite and with a sense of humour that no one gives them any credit for. I've bumped into groups of them on holiday but also out and about in Dublin.

The Welsh too seem lovely, almost like our slightly more stupid cousins Nah, I'm kidding, but the Welsh are a great bunch.

For me, the worse experiences I've had have always been with English people. Don't know what it is but they always seem to act like dicks. But then again maybe I've not been unlucky around them and they do just act like dicks the whole time! Making fun of my "little Paddy accent", but also just being a raucous, ignorant bunch. I've seen groups out on the drink in Dublin but I also spent a long time in London - where the people I got on best with was basically everyone but the English natives.

What say ye, AHs? And I know this thread has the potential to get a bit racist, so let's keep it civil - I think a bit of an edge is probably alright for AH but let's not try to actually insult anyone!

Well isn't this a refreshing change of topic

I would not judge someone on their nationality, If I like them I like them regardless of where they are from.

Some people are ok and some are arseholes. Nationality has nothing to do with it really.

I get on very well with a lad from Poland.
But there's a fellow from Transylvania who is bleeding me dry.

This OP is a typical example of a nice warm beginning and a bitter agenda later on .

Very interesting thread.

I wouldn't say the english, I'd say Liverpudlians, i've got on great with them. Compared to Dublin, taxi drivers, homeless people, bouncers etc. Are all much friendlier. Why Liverpool has a bad reputation, I'll never know.

Ya can't just say a nation are nice/sound, nor can you say a nation are a shower of dicks, cos it's summit we can easily say about ourselves, we're all nations full of sound people and dicks...

As for people i'm not sure about - the Dutch are just a very difficult bunch to read. I don't like or dislike them, they are just a very different group of people. Everyone to a man is supremely confident. Supreme confidence can be perceived in different ways.

I don't like the Italians at all, I think they're a nasty bunch.

Doesn matter where u go you'll find arseholes
I personally used to think the Chinese were nice bunch but on a recent trip to hong long found them to be the most ignorant bunch of w****rs I have ever met

Pottler

I love the Israelis and the South Africans, great lads all together. Never met a bad one. Lots of others feckin hate them though, so the two people I've met might not be the best sample of the breeds.

Peetrik

I'll bite as I think the OPs heart is in the right place for this thread.

Generally I get on very well with Polish people, I find them to be very like the Irish, they get our humor and they like a drink so we mix well.

I get on well with lads from Spain but the women just wreck my head, all the drama and the shouting, ugh. I suspect I'm more inclined to let the Spanish lads away with more just out of sympathy for what they have to put up with hahaha.

As was pointed out, its probably just pot luck as to what the individuals of the nationalities you have met are like that will color your view of a country.

Jesus...not another one of these poisonous topics about race and nationality, so somebody can tell about the nasty time the had with that Harry from souf London .How many threads on this subject now ...96 ?
