I sympathise with Ythansides experience having had a similar experience with a couple of drunken Ozzies over my American wife in Brisbane airport which luckily ended without injury (to us anyway)
But as for the rest Ythanside, surely your joking!Speaking as one who has lived in many countries unless you are prepared to take a lot of ribbing (some of it good-natured)about your nationality, gender, race, religion, nose size,eye shape, or just about anything else you can think of, don't ever leave the bosom of your family, tribe and nation or work for any multi-national firm.
