What? English guys have no idea what to do when in another country? Surely that is not so?
P.S. That was sarcasm.
We're highly sarcastic and self-mocking over here, also we aren't afraid to mock everything and everyone in sight. If you listen closely you can hear the sarkiness (is that even a word?) and laughter in our voices.
"Sarky" and "sarkiness" are perfectly good words. So is the variation "snarky", which is more current in the US (and, I think, Australia).
But their derivation is a bummer. I so much wanted "sarky" to be a Lowland Scots variation of "shirty", and "snarky" to be from Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark. Contrary to my desires, the dictionaries tell me they are short forms of "sarcastic".

Oh, snarky and sarky are definitely different. You describe someone as a sarky bastard, and he'd probably agree with you. Describe him as a snarky bastard, and you'd probably lose some teeth.
Which is NOT a substitute for going to a dentist, by the way.
Right now though, I'm upset because I didn't realise we had pickled eggs at the Bear, and I've been missing out on it for all of these years.

Good luck out there!
Thank you guys.
I don't know that it was good or not, they will call me sometime a private interview maybe nex week, but I need a job badly even If I unemployed since 2 weeks.
Here`s hoping you get the job !Thank you guys.
I think the longest i`ve been unemployed for the last 35 years was 6 weeks and that was due to the then company I worked for 15 years was sold to a competitor and the competitor then shut the factory down . I guess that`s one way of boosting your market share . But by that time I was interviewing and testing for the company I work for now ....some 19 years ago .
