I'm going to Balaton in 11 days time for a couple of nights, staying in Siofok. I hear the lake is pretty and the nightlife is lively

True, in both cases plus, English and German seemed to be the accepted means of communication. Enjoy.

That's just as well - my Hungarian doesn't extend to anything more than 'thank you' and 'beer'

Saul Silver · August 7th, 2012, 01:03 AM

No they are not honest! They are ’Little Leedsers’. No positive outlook. Leeds is far from ‘dirty’.

albionfagan · August 7th, 2012, 08:37 PM

Well people have differing opinions on things, as unbelievable as that sounds. Some people see much to be improved and some see much to celebrate, depends on your outlook.

Aaronj09 · August 7th, 2012, 08:40 PM

Yeah, but certain people choose to indulge in pessimism and misery on purpose.

albionfagan · August 7th, 2012, 08:43 PM

Others cannot accept even the mildest criticism of their town, it cancels each other out.

It's well known that the type of people who comment on online news stories in any locality are almost always whinging miserable gits. It's a universal truth.

Very True - Everytime something positive is in Manchester is in the MEN 90% of comments are putting it down in some way - the xmas markets for one bring a bit of life to the city - The MEN readers moan and winge about it - we really have become a nation of sad moaning bas*ards!

Portsmouths are terrible, I want to find the (front page no less) article blaming the pedestrianisation of one of our great cafe/bar streets for an increase in violence.

Karldiff · August 9th, 2012, 09:52 AM

It's very refreshing to hear this. Whenever I look at the online comments on WalesOnline I fear for the future of humanity. It seems to consist of nutters, miserabalists, uber nationalists, Welsh langauge haters or the incurably stupid.

It gives me a sense of relief that other parts of the country are similarly afflicted.

JamesWales · August 9th, 2012, 10:30 AM

The Portsmouth Evening News is always rammed full of Welsh Language Haters too.

***ill tonkso*** · August 9th, 2012, 02:41 PM

Ignoring the fact there is no such thing as 'The Portsmouth Evening News' for a second (it's just 'The News') I have never seen anything anti-wales in it.
