WHY?

What exactly has england got thats so amazing.

I thing some of the comments on here are quite generalised, How come the turkish guys get away with doing what they do? do you ever look on the other side as the girls are just as bad but the guys only get slated. I've never seen a turkish lady get used, or treated like many of the tourists do on holiday - maybe we should ask ourselves why?

England has NOTHING that is amazing!! You tell ME why they think this? English people are seen as "arrogant" and "proud" in other European countries, when in fact we are mostly embarassed about our colonial past and not at all proud of our country's political decisions! We are the first people to criticise our country and certainly do not feel AT ALL superior to other countries - far from it.

Maybe the tourist workers only see English people who have money and assume we are affluent? Believe me there are many many poor people in England, and life for anyone coming to the UK without money is generally not very pleasant at all.

As to the Turkish men (usually tourism workers). Part of their job is to be friendly and they are usually handsome guys. I agree with you that the girls are just as much to blame (and please - not just English girls - girls from ALL nationalities visiting Turkey!) but this doesn't mean generally that they are "cheap" or "easy". The Turkish men are far more demonstrative and romantic than a lot of nationalities, and freely say "seni seviyorum" and girls REALLY believe them think this is the same as "in love".

These workers are usually poorly paid and from poor families and of course, if a girl is telling him she is in love with him, why shouldn't he wish for a "better" life? It is a generalisation and there are of course extremes on both sides. I would hope that if any girl is asked for money or "presents" she would start to see sense!

The problem i think is this, tourists come to places like Turkey with money - which seems like a lot of money to others. However what people dont realise is that someone had to work hard for that money maybe for 2 months maybe a year to be able to go away and have a nice holiday. This is mis-read and is sometimes seen as though english, or any other nationality has 'a lot' of money. But in a lot of cases they dont.

England i think has ben mis-interpreted and infact many of us are no better off than the next person. My husband now has a totally different view of england from what he did, but thats because he has seen it in reality. The grass is never greener and nor should we pretend that it is.
