    Default Do you agree with this survey about Europe?

    Reader's Digest - British Edition
    This website shows a survey on which European they liked the most and which Europeans they liked the least. What do you think about it?

    Italy is really popular, huh? I've never really thought of Italy as the best... but according to that they are in many areas.

    Damn Straight. Britain contributed most to the world. TV, the light bulb, football, the BBC, penicillin, the steam engine (re-invented, after Heron of Alexandria invented it some 2000 years previously), and, of course, the English language. And Australia, Canada, the U.S., New Zealand, and half of the West Indies' states

    Which Europeans are the most efficient?
    Despite their recent economic woes, the Germans are still seen as the most efficient in Europe, with a thumping 45 per cent rating.
    From all over Europe came accolades. In Belgium, a woman asserted, "The Germans always respect their agreements."
    must have come as surprise to Stalin, no?

    If you couldn't be your own nationality, which other European one would you choose?
    The UK came joint fourth with Switzerland on nine per cent.
    A 50-year-old Belgian writer very nearly opted for British nationality. "But they have not joined the euro so I do not consider them Europeans."
    nor do I.

    Outside of Europe where I live,

    -The Brits are considered to be the most gentlemen. They even teach that in elementary school.

    -I heard some good Swedish punk music on the radio. I don't remember their names because I heard them only once.
    Unfortunately, we don't know much about Sweden.

    -The Italians and Greeks are known for contributing many ideas to the rest of Europe during ancient times.
    The Greeks are known for having the healthiest diet.

    -The Dutch are known for their total football. Hiddink made a big impression when his team beat South Korea 5-0 during the World Cup in France. He became a popular coach for the Koreans.
    The Dutch are the tallest Europeans on average.

    -Koreans think the Germans are the most efficient. Koreans envy how the Germans were able to unify Germany. I think Korea will not be unified in a long time.

    -I heard that the Northern Europeans were less hairy than the Southern ones. Very few of us saw any half-nude Europeans.

    Btw- I'm glad that I can read your opinions here. Totalwar.com would've closed this thread.

    Sweden has a huge, HUGE music industry thinking of the size of the country.

    I think so. The singer screeched very loudly. I would lose my voice if I sang like he did.
    There were other bands in which the singers were girls.

    Hehe ... thanks. I am not really sure about the general rudeness of Germans, but the beach towel thing is definitely true.
    If we go to the thermae we regularly don't get any free canvas chairs for relaxing a couple of minutes after the sauna because most of the chairs are "occupied" by towels

    germens arnt rude. I would say Italians are much ruder. Even the French are. All the Germen people i have met or know are some of the nicest people around. Then again i have never been to Germany but i would expect it would be nice.
