You say it was bloody awfull and she cannot cook - all fact and can be remedied as you point out and not an insult  - so your hostess says you're right and I will make steps to become better - thanks for drawing this to my attention  dream on Spinoza |
I am usually this honest, believe it or not. I just don't go to dinner at places of people who can't cook
Anyway it's a shit analogy. Presumably the right thing for the UK is a good immigration policy. Saying other people's opinions are shit when they are is a good way of stopping people from barking up the wrong tree. If my hostess was trying something out on me in order to impress her husband, I wouldn't hold back with any criticism. If there were no adverse consequence to me lying about her cooking skills in order to make her feel good about herself, I wouldn't bother telling the truth.
