Never been there, but even in the south of france people are not as bad as in the UK, and they are a pretty raw bunch down here. A lot of gun crime, but not the kind of scummy behaviour you get in the UK.

About 5% of the British population are utter scum who should be ignored, never let out of the country, and generally treated with disdain.
No, it is not common in the UK at all. It is exceptionally uncommon to see this level of rudeness except in this 5%.

Blessed be the Social Workers, for they believe that these scum are merely "misunderstood".

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Just a thought for you; would this have been news if it was common?

I think this one made the news because it was so beautifully self-illustrating and self-documenting rather than because it displayed some otherwise unknown level of rudeness.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

The post, below[^], begs the question:
When does CP add an audio track to the lounge?
Or, at least some short canned audio, like laughter for Q&A? Gunfire for the soapbox?

I've never seen that on any store shelf! It certainly could be useful in certain venues. Personally, however, I think I'd prefer Frozen. You know - fresher.
Q: Why does a fart stink?
A: For the benefit of those who didn't hear it.

Forget audio - I won't rest until I can post a Flash video (and you know how much we love those) in a CP post.

The only place flashing could be even remotely acceptable would be in the Soapbox. 
Personally, I'd rather not see it there, either.
