[jackthehat]

I ask again, what work do you do ?

[Bobbisox]

how old are you whitebear?

[Bobbisox]

I guess he has answered that then..lol

He sounds like a very narrow-minded, sad little individual who's terrified of what he doesn't understand, therefore the only way he can deal with it is to despise it. He probably doesn't even realise that if he's very open about this attitude at work, he could lose his job.

We have some Polish builders in at work at the moment. Can't understand a word they're saying when they talk among themselves, but as long as we can understand each other when we need to, there's no problem (plus we can ask them to proof read our bi-lingual fliers when we need it).

You should report his comments to his Line Manager and yours if they are different.
