I like the UK in general

You guys drink tea and biscuits all day and all have crooked teeth too!

I like the queen, she seems nice

All in all seems like a nice place with great people :)

Also one thing that comes to mind about Great Britain is that you really don't seem to like the fact you part of the EU. In fact be part of Europe all together.

Do British people know what Spotted Dick and Kippers are? Man Bear was not aware of Spotted Dick.

Spotted dick is a pudding... not entirely sure what it's made of as I've never had any (bread or cake plus raisins)

Kippers are smoked herrings, powerfully fishy flavour. Not really sure why they are thought of as a breakfast food though.



A lovely place to meet Pakistanis

Ask me about being an elitist jerk

Time for hype

I would say the stereotypes Americans have about us aren't half as bad as those we have about them.

They think we're posh and have bad teeth, and many of us seem to think they're all evangelical illiterate hicks who shoot everything they see and hate black people and gays.

+ We think they are all obese and have McDonalds at least twice a day. 

Spurge, maybe you should make an American equivalent thread!

Those are the stereotypes for the people in the flyover states, not the sane people on the east and west coasts ;)

Don't worry guys, not even British people can understand northern accents :)

Britain as a country I have always seen as going its own way. You are generally against evrything =D. Imperial system instead of metric, you drive at the wrong side of the road etc. British people I see calm and rather rational but when it comes to football that calmness turns to something entirely different...Finnish television has also painted british countryside in my brains (Finnish channels show tons of british shows). You don't have either too good reputation as a tourists. I still remember one day in Tallinn...I wondered where the hell that damn loud noise comes. When I walked nearer the center of Tallinn I noticed that there were some british tourists drinking beer and shouting to each other. I still wonder how you can get that much noise out of human body.
