Guppies living in England will probably be the only ones who appreciate this, but ever notice how the English are quite possibly the worst winners on the planet?
There’s the rivalry between England and France, though France was defeated in 1815. English people still love hating the French.
There’s the rivalry between England and Germany, though Germany was beaten in 1918 and 1945. English people still love deriding the Germans.
Most of all, there is the enormous hostility amongst English people to Argentianians, though Argentina was defeated over 20 years ago.
Going back further and further, you find that the English pretty much only make fun of people they won a war against sometime in the past.
They mock the Welsh (beaten in the Middle Ages), the Scots (beaten in the 18th century), the Irish (beaten in the 18th century, though they clawed their way back). Let’s not forget the Americans (beaten in 1812), Spanish (beaten in the 17th century and again in the 19th century), etc etc etc.
Contrast that with the only country to win its last war against England, Holland. In the late 18th century a Dutch fleet sailed up the River Thames towards London blasting away everything in its sight, prompting England to sue for peace and end the war. England and Holland never went to war after that, and the English are generally pretty non-committal, if not downright friendly, about Dutch folk.
I'm English and i'm proud. He he, takes me back to my time at school, the french and german student exchange teachers used to bear the brunt of our "peculiarity". They couldn't handle us and then they'd try to shout at us and speak fast and stumble somewhere across the line and then end up looking as red a betroot when we played up even more!!! I know thats mean..but you can't help it. HE HE
Ok, I was wrong. It was the late 17th century that the Dutch defeated Britain.... but look what it means today - Brits are pretty cool about the Dutch, unlike most other countries on Europe....
I remember when we had Argentinian exchange students at school ... we were specifically warned that anyone misbehaving towards the Argentinians would be suspended or expelled!!!
Very true. An English colleague of mine often talks about how English are the best in the world followed by the Dutch.
It was ironical to see English support the Americans in the recent wars, as I have found that although English hate everyone else, there is no one they hate more than Americans.
this isn’t the only aspect at which Dutchies are better …
