I agree with what you say, but you cannot compare Doha to the UK. I been here for a while now and i'm still not use to their dim-witted attitude. I can give you a perfect example, once i went to a restaurant and i specifically told one of the guys to warm the cake up and to make sure that he removes the icecream before doing so. Anyways the guy brings the cake back with the ice-cream melted. How stupid is that! For godsake it's common sense.

Word of advice, be stern when talking to people, trust me it works.
