what gives you the right to slag off my home town, i find your remarks rather offensive when you mention Middlesbrough in the same context as Egypt.
What’s the world coming to if you can’t comment on whether an area of the world is cr*p or not. It’s only the perceived view of an individual which any other person is quite free to counter, via discussion in this forum, rather than get all up in the air about it.
The person has every right in the world to say what he wants about any area of this planet. Of course if it degenerates into personal abuse that is another matter.
The poster most likely didn’t know it was your home town so the comment was probably not directed at you nor written to cause offence to you in person. The poster may be equally unaware that there is the odd Egyptian that visits this Forum from time to time who may also feel that they have been offended.
What can’t be disputed is if an area is average (for want of a better word) it doesn’t matter if an individual reading this Forum comes from that place or not.. it’s still average and if stated as such then it’s fair comment.
Although I am somewhat confused what a town in the UK has to do with the Topic title, which is about discussing working in the Middle East.
