So don't be upset if somebody thinks the same about your nation in some business fields.
As for crude industry I've never said that Brits are retards, they are most likely sharks

I only asked you to explain. Maybe Dubai attracts a worse skillset in cargo industry, does someone have to possess any skills or knowledge at all to do that work? I have no idea. There are a lot of 'unskilled' real estate agents here also, is it the same phenomenon?

What does islander mentality mean; savage, uneducated? Unfortunately a lot more uneducated Brits seem to be appearing here over the past couple of years, just coming here to try their luck at anything that comes up.

I'm interested to hear what you mean, you need to explain.

I was talking only about ppl. from British cargo industry (in The UK).

"The islander's mentality" means only that it's rather difficult for Continental ppl. to reach understanding with islanders in cargo industry. I had similar experience as well - simple operations took much more time than in Continental Europe.

It's a stereotype of cause.

OK. I guess you are talking about cargo brokers. I have come across some in UK while shipping my personal effects here and they can have a very 'small town' attitude.

Like a lot of people who never worked outside their own small area, they get very blinkered.

In other industries Brits work very well with Europeans, Asians, etc !
