I'm curious to know what non-UK people think about it.

Do they think we drink tea and eat crumpets all the time? Do they see us as allies? Colonial assholes? What do they think of the Queen?

I think you have bad teeth and a horrible accent which is difficult to understand (especially those that live near Scotland). Actually, I don't really think too much about the English but I do believe USA might have been better off staying a colony.

Long time since I drank a crumpet.

I don't think you drink them...

OT: I doubt anyone with an IQ past single digits still seriously attaches those stereotypes to us brits. *With the exception of spurgeonryan

Bad teeth is just an old stereotype which modern USA cartoons like Family Guy will not put to rest (so I just threw that out there since it was bound to be listed).

Difficult to understand is my personal belief.  While most English people I can understand (considering I speak English) there are those in the UK that have a very heavy accent (which I believe to be people that live more up north near the Scottish border).  Basically, they talk kind of fast but their accent makes it seem like all the words slur together so I have a hard time understanding.  Basically, if I watch any Guy Ritchie movies there are a few people in his movies that I would have to put the subtitles on for in order to understand what they are saying all the time.

I like the architecture and i love football

I also love the old culture



though i don't like monarchy,current pop and reality TV culture

I generally think of the UK as a pretty cool place. On my trip there a while back, I really enjoyed seeing all the architecture and history there, and I quite enjoyed what I saw of London (though I imagine I'd like it about as much as any other city if I spent more time there... which is to say, not much). The history especially was awesome, because we don't have that kind of stuff in the US, aside from a few rather uninspiring Native American ruins.

If I was to live somewhere outside the US, the UK would be one of my top choices. I do get the impression that many in the UK do buy into stereotypes about those of us here in the US, but I don't know how true that is. The only real downside is that you guys drive on the wrong side of the road.

I'm Norwegian. I view the English as having a mix of a few different cultures. On one hand, it seems to have a larger amount of agressive, stupid people who cause loads of problems all the time. A good example of these are the somewhat crazy to batshit crazy football fans.

On the other hand, the most brilliant people also seem to be English. Quite a lot of the friends I think the highest of are English, and on the internet English people are nearly always lovely, and clearly hold the highest average of quality in their posting. Additionally, virtually all the culture I love is English. Whether it's television, books or movies. In English fiction, the solution is very, very rarely as stupid as a big fight between the good guy and the bad guy, which sadly is how it is in most other prose.

The only English city I've been to is London, but from my experience, Londoners are absolutely lovely. They're nice, outgoing and funny. If there's any city I could imagine living in outside of Oslo, it's London.

Sorry just not a big fan of the English accent.  Sometimes it can sound hot on a girl but I usually get annoyed by it after awhile (mainly there is a local radio DJ and I find her pretty fucking annoying especially when she does the commercials).  I'm sure there are plenty of things from the USA that you can pick to dislike.
