Hello primaize,

Where did I hear something similar ??

Don't be flemish in the bilingual Brussels. You' re not welcome.
Frequently the shops employees were born in Flanders, but what a shame for them to say " Goede morgen, welkom, dank u."
It's more interesting to speak french... :oops:

French Tourists

Post by Ivor Beerbelly »

Calm Down you lot.

Now I may have lost the thread of this topic but it seems that all you nice people are slating our much needed tourists with their euro-laden wallets.
I think that The Algarve and CVO in particular cos its where I live should start being nice to all those people who have paid alot of money to come to visit us and our surroundings and Civility, Service and Assistance all 0f which cost zilch should be in abundance to French Germans Italians Spanish Dutch etc etc. and even those living north and west of "Watford" yes even the Welsh(That should be good for one or two replies)
Failure in revising the attitude from Potuguese and other Nationalities who are in Service ,catering, retail and other tourist related businesses wil unboubtedly cause a further drop off in visitors- yes further cos unless you havent noticed it started a couple of years ago. So Sharpen up and start to work with those you have got left and hope they tell their friends or you will have to start to hope that further holidaymakers will start to come from The Moon, Mars and other such places where the latest attitude has not yet reached
My only argument against the above sentiments would be that if anybody is caught drinkingTAGUS beer they should be immediately deported and if Hans in the Carvoeiro Bar ever makes this brew his only source of beer I will be commiting alcoholic suicide

:roll: What do you know about the portugues life in France ?
Is it so different for the foreigners in your own country ?

Cette situation existe dans d'autres régions touristiques, en France également, mais au moment où la fréquentation en Algarve paraît en baisse sensible, ne serait-il pas judicieux de faire un effort d'amabilité envers les autres touristes ?
Et qu'on ne vienne pas me dire : c'est pareil en France. Parce que c'est vrai, hélas !

elle,
Yes, it's very strange how we Brits can be won over by a French accent, maybe old Boney should have just spoken with old Nosey, then we would live in a different world!!
