Beer-swigging, rudeness and terrible dress sense have all helped British women come out on top of a poll of the world’s ugliest women. British women won 22.4 per cent in the survey conducted by the Real Holiday Reports website, followed by American women with 16.7 per cent. The results suggest that while many British women are attracted to the ladette image, the rest of the world does not share their opinion.
Respondents to the survey complained that British women were unladylike, not shy about belching or passing wind in public. They are also unashamed to let their fat hang out of their clothing and often wear bikinis that are “too tight”. Specifically, respondents said British women were “rude”, “drink pints of beer like men” and “end up drunk in the gutter”.
Germany came in third place with 15.7% - which is probably entirely due to Our Erika's behaviour down her local on a Friday night.
Actually the Christian Today report was a little premature - the poll is still going and Turkey has now drawn ahead of the UK. It's a bit like the Eurovision song contest, only with the nations that usually come last in the lead.
ReplyDeleteThe Ausralians have been disqualified for "entering sheep."
ReplyDeleteIf Turkey can enter turkeys I don't see why we can't enter sheep.
ReplyDeleteCathy. You're into cooking. You know full well that you can stuff turkeys but you don't stuff sheep.
ReplyDeleteEh, to nine flaming hells with danity; there's no fun in that.
ReplyDelete"Danity" is a new one on me. Do you mean Danite (a member of the Tribe of Dan). If yes, what has the Tribe of Dan ever done to annoy you so much, Tracy?
ReplyDeleteYou can stuff turkeys but you don't stuff sheep.
ReplyDeleteI have supplied a recipe to stuff camel on this very blog.
Nope. I meant "dainty" but I'm having a technical problem here. I type, and the characters slowly slog their way onto the monitor. I missed this one.
ReplyDeleteI still say dainty is way overrated. Who wants a dainty, pink, prissy princess anyway?
I take it British men make up the leading suppliers of votes to this poll (followed by Americans). Familiarity -> contempt, n' all that...
ReplyDeleteMe!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Boaz. I wouldn't object to one myself.
ReplyDeleteAw, rats.
ReplyDelete{There went MY chance w/ Cathy}
JCF - not in the least!! I'm not catholic, but my tastes are :-)
ReplyDeleteAny word on British men? They seem to run the gamut from John Barrowman to Prince Charles.
ReplyDeleteCounterlight - well indeed, but the poll actually seems to be as much about behaviour as it does looks. The British men I know don't go in for belching in public or lying in gutters, but then neither do the women. The poll probably says rather a lot about the people who voted in it (and the company they keep).

ReplyDeleteOh dear. They're probably all from Newcastle, then.
I've certainly seen many women from the UK who I find to be quite attractive. Besides, there's that accent - just knocks me out. I could listen to an English (or Australian ;) woman read a grocery list and still be enraptured.
ReplyDeleteAnd if they “drink pints of beer like men,” so much the better :D
I've said it before and I'll say it again - you're a man of taste and discernment, David :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, luv. Can I get you a beer ? ;)
ReplyDeleteI like gentlemanly behavior, so I can understand objections to - what I would consider - unladlylike behavior. My concern is what the respondents consider unladylike.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably just a knee-jerk liberal reaction, but I did find it strange that none of those behaviors seem to be a problem when men do it. Gender really isn't an issue when it comes to the fact that no one looks good when dressed in clothing that makes them look like an overstuffed sausage.
