Brits most angry people in Europe ?

[Contact]

So :) According to the statistic news Britain has most angry citizens in Europe? This is a research which was ordered by TV channel "Gold".

Averagely Brits get angry 4 times per day and that it's very easy to exasperate them.

1. Most likely you will get in trouble if you step into the middle of a queue in UK 48% (Of course it's not cool thing to do. I would go speak to to that guy about why he feels more important than others :stare:)

2. British angryness about traffic jams in roads and streets - 43% (quite natural, who likes to sit in a traffic jam, especially when you're late ?)

3.Two thirds of Brits gets angry when they are impolitely served in a shop or when uncultured neighbours moves in. (Again, why it's been applied to only Britain I don't understand. It should be natural reaction to these negative things everywhere.)

Brits also doesn't like racism, religiosity, chaotic car driving and people who swears in public places.

Every fourth Brit can hardly control his rage.

According to statistics most peacfull people live in Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

In my point of view if you start acting like a jerk, you will annoy others around and not only in UK.

I've been in UK some years ago and yes there are lots of hotheads around. Had a chance to work with them :) Despite that they were good lads. They used to talk about funny things but with serious face expression :DL I also was impressed to watch how soccer match influence their behavour :haha::up:
You could call it also an aggresive angryness from outside view, but it's more a cultural thing about soccer mixed with loads of emotions Britain lived with for ages:rock:

[Nisgeis]

[Letum]

It's because they live in a great Country....but one which is in desperate need of a roof!

It might be the food to blame :) I remember I once had a full english breakfast (bacon, scrambled eggs, toasted bread, tomatoes) served on a hot plate :) and there was a round dark red cookie thing which looked very suspicious to me so I left it untouched. :) Later I found out it was made from pigs blood! What a gross :dead: I thought how can they eat that :haha:

Every animal in the buchery takes lots of stress before he dies and that stress concentrates in the blood of that animal. So I think it might pass to people who eat these cookies or half baked stakes (with blood) and it might be the cause of angryness ? :)

[mengle]

personally, if i see on television how the islam react with blood and murder when somebody calls a teadybear Mohammed :o i have a differant view of angry people

Y'know come to think about it the Brits eat a lot food made out of internal organs and blood.

[clive bradbury]

Absolutely, August. Some Brits will put just about anything in their mouths (this does, of course, convey important benefits in some ways).

Personally, I stopped eating red meat during the BSE crisis, and have never gone back - don't miss it, and better for my heart. Although I am not a member of the food police - people can eat whatever they like as far as I'm concerned - just don't make me eat the following -

Brains
Tongue
Heart
Tripe (just the thought of it makes me heave, and the taste confirms that thought)
Sweetbreads
Black pudding (the breakfast 'delicacy' mentioned already).

All pretty disgusting, in my opinion.

Nice story about the latter. One the UKs leading chefs, Nick Nairn, once did a TV series showing food around the country. The black pudding in the show was made by a woman in a Highland cottage. Nairn tells this story against himself. He and the camera crew had a good drinking session the night before, and poor Nick woke to this woman bringing in a bowl full of steaming fresh blood to start the pudding-making process. The camera crew were most amused by the reaction of Nick's already rather delicate stomach that morning...

Unfortunately Scotland is a part of the UK, but not all of it.

so after reading this thread, maybe the brits are the most angry people of the whole world :har:

Yea, I can wholly agree on that one. Although I didn't run into any pig's blood biscuits (?). The mad cow thing was all the rave back when I was there so I was kinda sceptical about most of the meat in the stores. This lead to me dropping a few pounds in weight, which was good from the jogging point of view.

Stop makeing fun of kratos.:rotfl:

[jumpy]

The biscuits some of you are referring to is 'black pudding'. Usually sliced and fried along with fried bread, bacon, eggs mushrooms, tomatoes, beans sausages etc.

Have any of you had dripping? Before telling you what it is, I'll tell you how some of us eat it: spread on toast with a little salt. mmmmmm

[Letum]

Nout wrong with dripping!

Black pudding or blood pudding is an English term for sausage (http://www.subsim.com/wiki/Sausage) made by cooking blood (http://www.subsim.com/wiki/Blood_as_food) with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled.

Yeah thats the one I wasn't able to explain what I see when I first saw it :haha:

English breakfast as breakfast is very delicious to me but this black pudding ? common it ruins the apetite :D

What a flashback to the past :) It reminds of my first gaming console Zhiliton :haha: Other brands was named UFO's (round consoles) and first console of Nintendo :) Oh and before these oldies there was even a tape-gaming console. The games had to be loaded somehow with audio cassettes :o There was a times..

The Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum were two tape fed machines I used to own :DL

Indeed not!

For those not in the know:
'Dripping' is the fat left over from roasting meat, pork, beef, lamb (chicken? never had chicken dripping myself). You drain it into a container and let it congeal as it cools. What you end up with is a sort of fatty paste, which you then use as a butter substitute on toast; at least that's the way I've always had it, with a little salt shaken over it.

[Letum]

I put a bit of dripping in a pan, use that to fry my bacon or sausages and then
drop a slice of bread or toast into the pan before it gets cold.

Perfect!

[OneToughHerring]

Oh now I get it, black pudding. We have something similar here, it's called mustamakkara (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustamakkara). Very good with lingonberry sauce.

Indeed not!

I think the British approach to food is kind of similar to that of the Chinese. Waste nothing. :)

@ Jimbuna

I remember the good old ZX Spectrum you had to sit there while the tape made this ear busting beeping and squealing and when it finished you played a game that looked like a kids painting.
Dam those were the days
See im not angry at all.:O:

[CastleBravo]

Since about 1888 does anyone really care what the Brits think? They are another country which lives under the umbrella of American largess. Mr. Obama is taking it all away. Perhaps it is about time Britain and other nations in that part of the world protect their own tax income. Islam and others are coming. You aren't ready.

We still eat Black pudding because it is a nessecary for the lancastrian marshal art eckythump.

Now I know why we lost the Battle of Britain. Our pilots were simply to scared of the food there to really want to win it push an invasion and have to live there for some time.:o

Re the chinese: at least in the UK if you order a pizza with 'chicken' as a topping, you don't get a delivery with whole chickens feet gripping the pizza dough :eek:

[clive bradbury]

Although, as you see from my post above, there is a lot I hate about British food, there is no doubt that a lot has changed over recent years:

I suppose, that as I attacked certain British dishes above, it is only fair to list a few classics from the UK that everyone should try if they get a chance:

Fish & chips
Cullen Skink
Bread & butter pudding
Lancashire hot pot

Not forgetting the most popular dish in the UK these days

[OneToughHerring]

I remember the pies, they were pretty good. Although the ones I had were ready-made and probably pretty terrible in comparison to the home-made ones.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steak_and_kidney_pie

In the British Armed Forces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Armed_Forces) a pudding is sometimes called a "Baby's Head" and in certain areas of North West England primarily around Wigan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wigan) and Leigh, Lancashire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leigh,_Lancashire) a "Babby's Yead" (Baby's Head).:DL

[Jimbuna]

Fish pie (the hairless variety) is also well liked/a very popular dish in the UK :up:

[XabbaRus]

Hmmm black pudding....Every Friday at work I have a black pudding and egg roll...

Hmm how people can't love balck pudding is beyond me....haggis is pretty good too...

Give me a good British home cooked steak pie with fresh new potatoes and veggies over any of the poncy french sauce laden food. Though I think maybe that is unfair as I understand that traditional French country cooking isn't so far removed from our own and only in Paris did they come up with these huge white plates with a couple of grean beans swimming on a sauce and it's caled haute cuisine?

[clive bradbury]

In defence of the French, they too have moved towards simple food cooked well and away from the silly sauces. I was in Paris for the weekend a fortnight ago and the food was both simple and superb.

[Jimbuna]

Yep....sometimes something as simple as frogs and snails :DL
