Have a look at this thread....

[Strommie]

I'm blonde and very pale and I've been asked if I'm Scandanavian or French

My DBF gets that all the time in the US

 

[carolfoy]

I do find it offensive. If I stated that I find it bizarre to hear so many American accents saying things like 'Y'all' I'd be accused of stereotyping.

 

[Madjock]

I too thought along the lines of Libby, I thought he was just being curious about why we go all that way when we have 'Disney' closer to home which is understandable. Of course if he went to DLP he would understand. I didn't find the original question offensive but I didn't read to through all the posts.

I did laugh at the 'ghastly' though

 

[UKDEB]

Ah yes, "ghastly" - I must make a point of using it more often. Superb word! In fact, I think we should adopt it as the DIS word of the day.

Gee, what a swell idea. Real neat dude

 

[Obi Wan Kenobi]

I have some sympathy for him,
I don't like seeing shell suits and football shirts all over WDW and those regional accents...please!

Since the advent of charter flights, the parks seem to be full of brits complaining that they cannot get a decent cup of tea, that there is no fish 'n chips at every corner and why can't you get British food in the supermarkets

I'm beginning to feel quite odd, I do use the word ghastly as an everyday adjective. in fact I use a lot of words many people would find strange.



and Obi - its a good job we know your sense of humour or you'd get lynched! ghastly use of stereotyping I do believe!

The British sense of humour, sorry, "humor" can always shine through!

My son's favourite word at the moment is "Actually"

 

[carolfoy]

My son's favourite word at the moment is "Actually"

at least its not 'why?' or 'because?'
my son used to say everything was 'marvellous mummy', made me sound like some Norland Nanny!

 

[scottishsue]

I hate to think what he would make of my "Glasgow" accent.
I think it must be the worst accent in the U.K. !!

 

[jjpenguin]

I know just how the OP feels, I hate hearing all the Americans when I go to Amsterdam or London or Bath...
Why do they come to Europe don't they have any culture over there

 

[Netty]

If he really wanted to know why we brits go to wdw, why didnt he just post on the uk forums

 

[Goofyish]

Having read the OP I gave the poster the benefit of the doubt and assumed that he was was just asking the questions out of curiosity rather than in some racially bigotted way
It's sometimes very difficult to judge the 'tone' of a post. A poorly worded question or comment can be quite easily taken the wrong way when it was meant in jest.

I've invited him over to the UK & DLP boards and to Trans-Atlantic chat so he can say hello

 

[wideeyes]

They were quite a few Americans at DLP the other week.

 

[Minniespal]

I've invited him over to the UK & DLP boards and to Trans-Atlantic chat so he can say hello

Wonder if he will take up the invitation Tim

 

[MazdaUK]

Why do they come to Europe don't they have any culture over there

Ummmmm, no they don't We felt quite homesick for Europe after watching the French film in Epcot In fact we went to France the following year - not DLP, somewhere where you can buy lunch for less than the price of a Eurostar ticket

 

[wils]

He has got ruder as the post has gone on. Very strange

 

[Tartan Tigger]

I hate to think what he would make of my "Glasgow" accent.

I said the same thing, LOL.

I thought the OP was just curious but the later replies were total sarcasm. I smell a troll.

 

[DisneyJo]

He has become very sarcastic now! Could someone please explain a troll? I'm assuming it's someone who just wants to start trouble but why would they want to :
