Thats exactly what I thought.. it's not the first time though and the moderators don't seem bothered.  Whats really ironic is that a lot of the world sees us in exactly the same way...

And, i might have got this wrong but i'm pretty sure that guy in the avatar is from Channel 4's "Fone Jacker" and is actually meant to be a Nigerian scammer!  :wink:

I don't know, but it would be quite easy for someone over in Nigeria to characterise the British as a bunch of lager louts who like nothing more than getting pissed on a Friday/Saturday night and generally behaving like animals... is that racist?  I think it is... you shouldn't tar a whole people by the actions of a minority... unless of course you're saying that all/most Nigerians are scammers.

Not all english are chavs either.........................I agree with illyun, you can't apply a generalisation to a whole country. But there has been pleanty of press warnings of scamming from Nigeria.

I have nothing against people from Nigeria as I studied with a couple of great guys at Uni from there. :smiley:

But like VW dealerships you get good ones and bad ones  :wink: where ever you go.

Of course not all of us are Chavs... only the ones who have quad exhausts on their cars -  :grin: :grin:... just a joke Robin  :rolleyes:  As for your comparision with VW Dealers, I think it's a bit far-fetched as most VW dealers are t055er5 out to grab every last penny from you with a smile on their faces.. and sometimes they don't even bother smiling as in VW Huddersfield which seems to have got a slating on this forum.

Oh so I have a Racist avatar now :laugh: Get a grip!

I guess you'd better complain to Channel4 and ask them to stop airing that racist program "Fonejacker" :rolleyes:

teddy I think they were referring to my comment (that I have now edited) which stated maybe the car was being sold by the guy in your avatar (and i reffered to him as a nigerian scammer!!)...... oviously I should of stated that not all nigerians are scammers or something along them lines and that i was referring to the fonejacker guy!! I will place a disclaimer next time  :wink:

Soca said the investigation work being done in Nigeria is "one part of a sustained and ongoing law enforcement response to mass marketing fraud".
How dare they suggest Nigerians were involved! :angry:
