\nRoger: \u00a1Qu\u00e9 dices!
\nJos\u00e9: Lo que oyes. \u00a1Somos la leche, los espa\u00f1oles!
\nRoger: No entiendo. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 crees que sois tan maravillosos? Lo que yo veo es mucho paro, ideas pasadas de moda y un gobierno corrupto.
\nJos\u00e9: No es para tanto, t\u00edo. Todos los gobiernos son corruptos. El gobierno espa\u00f1ol no es peor que otros gobiernos del mundo.
\nRoger: Nuestro gobierno en Inglaterra no es perfecto, pero es considerablemente mejor que tu gobierno. Espa\u00f1a es un pa\u00eds mandado por hombres mayores con ideas antiguas.
\nJos\u00e9: Tu primer ministro es mayor que el nuestro.
\nRoger: Bueno, tal vez, pero la media de edad del gobierno debe ser m\u00e1s joven que la tuya.
\nJos\u00e9: Yo qu\u00e9 s\u00e9 colega. Estas cosas no son tan importantes. Es que vivimos mucho mejor que en Inglaterra. Est\u00e1 claro. Est\u00e1is all\u00ed, enjaulados en vuestras casas, con vuestro clima tan horrible bebiendo t\u00e9 y comiendo cosas tan sosas.
\nRoger: Este tema de la comida es aburrido. Los espa\u00f1oles siempre cre\u00e9is que vuestra comida es mejor que cualquier comida de cualquier otro pa\u00eds. Est\u00e1 bien, la comida espa\u00f1ola, pero no es nada del otro mundo. Es muy parecida a nuestra comida en Inglaterra.
\nJos\u00e9: Bueno, eso es suficiente. Yo voy a tomar una cervecita con mis amigos y picar algo en esa terraza de all\u00ed, al lado del mar, porque hace muy bueno. Puedes unirte a nosotros si quieres.
\nRoger: Vale. Suena bien, gracias. La cerveza espa\u00f1ola es mal\u00edsima por cierto.<\/p>\n

\nRoger: What are you talking about!
\nJos\u00e9: What you heard. We Spaniards are awesome!
\nRoger: I don\u2019t understand. Why do you think you are so wonderful? What I see is a lot of unemployment, old-fashioned ideas and a corrupt government.
\nJos\u00e9: It\u2019s not that bad, mate. All governments are corrupt. The Spanish government is no worse than other governments in the world.
\nRoger: Our government in England is not perfect, but it is considerably better than your government. Spain is a country run by old men with old ideas.
\nJos\u00e9: Your prime minister is older than ours.
\nRoger: Well, maybe, but the average age of the government must be younger than yours.
\nJos\u00e9: I dunno mate. These things aren\u2019t so important. We live much better than in England. It is clear. You are there, caged in your houses, with your horrible weather drinking tea and eating such bland things.
\nRoger: This topic of food is boring. Spaniards always believe that your food is better than any food from any other country. It\u2019s okay, Spanish food, but it\u2019s nothing special. It is very similar to our food in England.
\nJos\u00e9: Okay, that\u2019s enough. I\u2019m going to have a beer with my friends and something to eat on that terrace there, by the sea, because it\u2019s great weather. You can join us if you want.
\nRoger: Okay. Sounds good, thanks. Spanish beer is very bad by the way.<\/p>\n
