Man in Crete   101 #15 Posted June 24, 2022 Honestly can’t follow your thought pattern here you complain again and again they get your orders wrong and then blame that on the common market. What is this common market you speak off? How could bringing in a load of foreign workers change the fact that wherever this place is more hands on deck would get you more chicken breast than thigh? maybe you should change your eating habits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
MJ01   439 #16 Posted June 24, 2022 It's Saturday evening in the B1 house & there's an air of nervous excitement. Everyone has gone to bed early but no-one can sleep - its like Christmas Eve....  Sunday arrives but there is great sadness - "our feast is cancelled as that lot (points through window) are too lazy to cook for us that are too lazy to cook for ourselves"  "Aren't we a bit contradictory B1 in that case?"  "Erm, well, er I don't, erm....does anyone like reggae?"  The End 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

fools   447 #21 Posted June 25, 2022 The "doth protest too much" idiom might have entered common parlance, but it has no meaningful basis. Few people are going to admit to being racist when surveyed.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

crookesey   631 #23 Posted June 25, 2022 I never quite get this ‘racist’ thing, I recently received fabulous service from an opticians where all but one staff member was Asian. I’m sure that this cannot be construed as being a ‘racist’ comment, however had the service that I received been horrendous instead of fabulous, would it then be racist?

I’m sure that this cannot be construed as being a ‘racist’ comment, however had the service that I received been horrendous instead of fabulous, would it then be racist? If someone said that they'd had bad service, then brought up the fact that most staff were Asian in way that implied (even indirectly) that the bad service was because they were Asian, then that would be racist. A reasonable test might be whether, in similar circumstances, that person would have brought up the fact that all the employees were white. if not, then you might wonder why the fact they mentioned Asians.
