Sounds like a lot of people I encountered in the Valleys, it's very much about keeping up appearances. I travelled home from Caerphilly by bus and had the misfortune of hearing a conversation that a woman was having with her friend. Basically they were on about her son's friends birthday party and she was explaining that she'd taken her son to the hairdresser's to have what I could only describe as the latest boy bad haircut which included highlights and fake tan, very OTT considering he was 9.

I've just been listening to a Polish housekeeper at my B&B explaining Romanians.

They love clothes and looking good. They don't go to Church to pray, they go to look at everyone's outfits to make sure that they look the best. They only care about status and that someone else looks cheap.

It doesn't matter if they don't have a roof over their heads provided they have a good hairstyle.

When a boy turns 18 he HAS to have a car, and it can't be any old car but the biggest and most expensive he can get his hands on, even if he can't afford the petrol to put in it.

Stupid Romanians...

So what makes them any different from any other Europeans?

Sounds like a typical middle class brit to me who got up to the neck in credit for the past decade and felt very rich.
