Tea and crumpets is the shit...just saying. I'd be more than happy to be stereotyped as a crumpet eating tea glugger. But my teeth are fine, and my accent is epic too. You'd be surprised at how much someone's accent is affected by their class in the UK, I'm not trying to be a snob, but the people who live in the next town over, which is generally considered to be a bad area, have awful accents.

We don't have Presidents.

U FAIL.

Yea, you have to read later in the thread where I reveal that it is just stereotypes in USA cartoons.  Basically, I was just being a jackass (someone was going to say the bad teeth "joke" plus I wanted a bunch of reply to feel extra special) on the first one but real on the last two parts.  The not being able to understand some British people is legit.  I've been on a few cruises and been to vacations in the Caribbean where I've run into a few that I had decent conversations with. Some I can understand but people of northern England and Scotland I have trouble with.

UK is a tough, class-driven country.  Been there for 3 months a few years ago and geez, that 3h in the morning bar closing in Liverpool was a mess...  As for the queen, I dunno why people still give a crap about those stupid symbols from the past.

TBH any strong accent can be difficult to understand. I'm from Yorkshire and have had difficulty conversing with some local people. Maybe that's because I use terms like 'conversing' though

tiny hotel rooms. Fees for every little thing imaginable. Cameras watching you at every corner. All taxis look like old bentleys. Crazy drivers. Crisp shop at every corner. Lots of tourists. Then again I've only been to London.

Yeah, Americans call any black person "African American".

Nelson Mandela = African American

David Haye = African American

Idris Elba = African American

To the average American (USA) the rest of the world does not exist or is of no importance.

I think a lot of people (at the least in the US) think of the UK as England - sorry Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales apparently you don't get any recognition - hahaha.
