The Likely Lads1976
Bob:
I bet we could go right round the world and you'd have a pat response ready.
Terry Collier:
I've travelled man, I've seen a bit of the world now you know.
Bob:
What do you think of Koreans, for instance?
Terry Collier:
Not to be trusted. Cruel people. Much the same as all Orientals.
Bob:
That's a third of the world's population dismissed in a phrase. Russians?
Terry Collier:
Sinister.
Bob:
Egyptians?
Terry Collier:
Cowardly.
Bob:
Oh? I thought you might have saved that for Italians.
Terry Collier:
No, no, they're greasy aren't they? Not as greasy as the French mind.
Bob:
Germans?
Terry Collier:
Arrogant.
Bob:
Spaniards?
Terry Collier:
Lazy.
Bob:
Danes?
Terry Collier:
Pornographic.
Bob:
Well that's just about everyone. Oh, Americans?
Terry Collier:
Well, they're flash aren't they?
Bob:
So it's just down to the British, is it?
Terry Collier:
Well, I haven't got much time for the Irish or the Welsh, and the Scots are worse than the Koreans.
Bob:
And you never could stand Southerners.
Terry Collier:
To tell you the truth I don't like anybody much outside this town. And there's a lot of families in our street I can't stand either. Come to think of it, I don't even like the people next door.
Bob:
I see, so from the distant blue Pacific through the barren wastes of Manchuria, to 127 Inkerman Terrace, you can't abide anyone.
