Are you suggesting that our Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi brothers are 'any old Johnny Foreigners'?  | | | | |
You can call them whatever derogatory term you'd like, Mister Tolerant.  |

The Swiss love The Life of Brian. The Swiss love British beer. Some enjoy reading about the royal family in Gala or Glucksblatt.
And that's about as much as the Swiss really care about Britian.

I don't have any reason to hate them, quite on the contrary, so I guess I do have to hate them.... 
Seriously, if not the language there are at least two other things I feel I benefited from the Brits: their sense of humour and self-irony...if only more people could learn that.. |

I can't hate the British...especially after reading this.
They are dwarves
It also explains why they have problems with the French, Germans and Italians....

It's just not right. It's perverse.
