| There probably are, and I know of at least one young male bartender. My nephew will be out with family next month, he is half-Indian, half-Austrian wife Turkish & they coming from Germany! lovely family. My children are also half Indian, & I still have my late husband's Indian (Punjabi) name. Unless, of course, you mean American Indian!? |

| batterboy58's comment may be a little non p/c to some However I am sure it is not meant in an offensive way. Perhaps batterboy58 would like to confirm / deny this. I agree with philray all europeans look the same. You can be sure t spot the dutchman though.................................. hij zal een grote glimlach op zijn gezicht en een pint effes in zijn hand hebben. |

| I don't see why it is offensive to say Pakistani and Indian people look the same,they are the same race!It is only the fact that they have different religions. |

| Pakistanwas a part of British India until 1947 so it is safe to say pakistanis and indians will look alike exluding any religous body / hair styles etc. Ao pperhaps it is only the P/c europians that would /could find it offensive to say " There are loads of Indians at The Grove, or they could be pakistanis, they all look the same to me. " There is no reason for them to look any different as they come from the same region and prior to 1947 the same country !! The Indus Valley civilization, one of the oldest in the world and dating back at least 5,000 years, spread over much of what is presently Pakistan. During the second millennium B.C., remnants of this culture fused with the migrating Indo-Aryan peoples. The area underwent successive invasions in subsequent centuries from the Persians, Greeks, Scythians, Arabs (who brought Islam), Afghans, and Turks. The Mughal Empire flourished in the 16th and 17th centuries; the British came to dominate the region in the 18th century. The separation in 1947 of British India into the Muslim state of Pakistan (with West and East sections) and largely Hindu India was never satisfactorily resolved, and India and Pakistan fought two wars - in 1947-48 and 1965 - over the disputed Kashmir territory. A third war between these countries in 1971 - in which India capitalized on Islamabad's marginalization of Bengalis in Pakistani politics - resulted in East Pakistan becoming the separate nation of Bangladesh. In response to Indian nuclear weapons testing, Pakistan conducted its own tests in 1998. The dispute over the state of Kashmir is ongoing, but discussions and confidence-building measures have led to decreased tensions since 2002. |

| johnk49, I am sorry to say you must spend little time on the internet, either that or you are being sarcastic!!!!!!!!! Yes until 1947 this was one country with several religions and numerous languages and dialects. However, given that littlenige spends half his life attached to a computer keyboard it is very easy to get the info he has printed. The other half of his life, especially while the boss is away, is in his thong oggling the young ladies at Club Simena!!!!!!!!!!! |

| cyprus is home, the one that is to be obeyed has returned and the thong is back in mothballs, I am getting arround a little more but still find it hard to walk more than a few yards, hence I am tending to spend to much time on here. I can be spotted in the semina pool betweeen 10 and 2 most days doing leg exercises. |

| The only people likely to be offended by my remark are the politically correct brigade. Surely all whites look the same too whether they be French, German, English or American. Sorry to disappoint, I'm sure some people have been waiting for me to admit that I am a racist. |

| "Whites", unlike Asians or Africans, do come in different colours. Pale people with blonde/red hair (Scandinavians) Dark people with brown/black hair (Southern Europeans) and all the combinations of the above. Orientals all look "the same" to the untrained eye - having lived in the far east for 4 years, I can tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese, and if you put the two side-by-side most would see the difference. Having said that, it does come across as arrogant and dismissive to say "they all look the same to me". |

| To be politically correct how can you tell the difference between Indian and Pakistanis? without talking to them first. This is a serious question not meant to be derogatory . Just like asians( Korean, Vietnamese etc: Chinese and Japanese I can tell or how about all the latinos, . Sorry if people get offended but how can you tell without asking ?. |

| Many people in U.K. & Ireland are blonde/red-haired & pale skinned, not only Scandinavians & many of them are not actually. Some Pakistanis say they can tell the difference between Indians & themselves just by looking & think it is to do with facial expressions or something. It is quite complex the whole thing. My Hindu father-in-law had Urdu poetry books which he read & loved. |
