The Swiss vs the English

Back to one of my favourite topics, nationalities. Basically it boils down to being direct. The Swiss are to the point, the English are not in case you got confused there.

A direct question? Whereas the Swiss would go "no", the English would say something like "I would love to, but really cannot make it just now, but please let's next time". And FYI, the Americans would say "can I take a rain check?".

Again, just different, but have to admit in this case the English (or American) way is nicer...wouldn't you agree?
