When the boot is on the other foot

The British abroad, doncha just love 'em (Short term link only):

"British students in Alicante have more problems integrating in public schools than pupils of any other nationality, a new study has found. Language and cultural differences are mostly to blame, according to the NGO Orihuela- Alicante Migration, which published the study based onfigures from the Valencia region’s education department. Sociologists...rote that British students “resist the opportunities of exchange with other nationalities and cultures” more than others".

I think I might be excused a hollow laugh.
