The travel search site Skyscanner has run a survey with its users to identify the top 10 rudest nations on the planet as perceived by others travelling to those countries. If you’re worried that your country might make the top 10, look away now. Here’s the list:
1. France
2. Russia
3. United Kingdom
4. Germany
5. Others
6. China
7. United States
8. Spain
9. Italy
10. Poland
Bringing up the rear on the list, and thus deemed the most polite, were the following:
25. Japan
26. Denmark
27. Canada
28. New Zealand
29. Indonesia
30. Portugal
31. Thailand
32. The Philippines
33. Caribbean region
34. Brazil
But how accurate is such a survey. Apparently 65% of those surveyed were from the UK & Ireland. That maybe doesn’t do France any favours. And how much is the rudeness just perceived rather than actual, perhaps due to differences in culture.
So should the Irish be disappointed that they didn't appear in the bottom of the list?
