Living in the UK and laughing at other nations, I'd like to know how other countries stereotype us.

Could you tell me some??? - don't worry, I won't find anything offensive

We think anyone with a British accent is intelligent.

Lower-class soccer hooligans, upper-class fops, and bad dentistry.

Mondine's cheating - he's got to be British to have that kind of insight.

Don't forget we all drink tea with the Queen and watch Only Fools And Horses all day, scone in hand. Jolly good, eh what?

Being British, I can see where people come from with the stereotypes. I did actually just have a cup of tea!

and my Grandmother makes the best scones :P.. But I'm not posh or anything.

UK people speak English instead of UKish.

Lol that's because England is better than the rest of the UK

Well still, you guys should speak Englandish instead of English. Grow your own language.

Well, I do live in British Columbia...
Funny that, because I tend to speak clearly, and ennunciate words, I've met a lot of Americans that thought I was English.
Speaking of stereotypes, they invariably ask if it really rains all the time 'over there'. Which I usually affirm, as the quickest means to avoid further conversation.
