That. hard.

The south sucks even worse. at least the north is fairly pretty and doesn't have too many people.

Ive also experienced considerably less anti-english sentiment from the northerners.

I actually think all of Wales is pretty decent - it's just that the people in North Wales are less inclined to disfigure you with a stanley knife for being English.

I find the more north you get in wales (and the higher altitudes) the nicer the people (at least, in general and especially with the anti-english thing)

Indeed, I shall be holidaying in the northiest bit of the north of Wales in a couple of weeks.

On my one and only visit to Swansea, we went into a pub and asked for a pint (in English). The barman said: "sorry lads, we don't want any trouble". So, we went home again.

Yeah, I've sort of found that. I've had some great mates from all areas of Wales, some of my best mates in fact, but all of those that were arseholes just because I was English were from around the Cardiff area.

Of course there are plenty of arseholes in England too, which is probably why some Welsh (and indeed Scottish, and probably Irish too) think we're all wankers. You can be predjudiced wherever you come from it seems.

It's a great job because I like talking and meeting people from different places. The menu's easy, the tips are fantastic, and I usually end up going home with about 100 dollars on a good night.

I don't like stupid customers. The ones who think my job is to read their mind and know if they hate mushrooms.
I guess beyond that don't really hate anything about it. :3

ZOMG, did you see Bam Margera skate there?

Twattish customers are the bane of everyone working in some form of retail outlet.

I should know, I technically work in customer services.

And on the mention of my job, certain people here fail on promises.

Customer services must be worse than what I have to deal with. Oh man, I cannot fathom.

I've been to Pembrokeshire a few times and think its really nice. Bit of anti-English there, but never actually encountered any serious dislike. The beaches are ace though. I'm heading there again in the middle of June for a few nights.

Woo!

Applied for a job this afternoon as a CAD analyst (fuck knows) with a Liverpool company and within about 20 minutes the folks had phoned me back. I answered a few questions and the nice chap said he'd phone me back within the week to arrange an interview.

Glad at their efficiency

Suspicious at the desperation

Still, they've decided to take on about 3 or 4 people at the saqme time so can't be all bad. I hope. About fucking time someone got back to me. Non responsive cunts.

Well, as I deal with customers accounts on their store credit cardz, I can sympathise with you. "I don't owe this, I didn't buy it" followed by "Yes you do, yes you did, it says so here...twice".

I sell towels in a middle class department store in the centre of England. My job is the working equivalent of beige.
