I call dibbs on all the stuff.
Ginger drunken hooligans, who love footie and have no drinking age. They wear tracksuits at all times, have very strong accents. Not even British, but actually Indian or Paki. America-hating/envying chavs who have a goat-shagger for a neighbour (that would be Wales).
and done.

I used to think of the English as I think of my old defunct neighbors. Loud, annoying and horrible teeth... Always drinking tea and seem to think they own the damn world.. Then again my neighbors are from Germany so I don't exactly know what to think anymore.. Maybe all you Europeans are a bit off... Then again Canada is technically in the Americas and there even more strange than the french... (I wonder if its just the US that has the problem)

All British people are automatically cool because of their accents, true story...

I live in Germany and I visit England a lot. I think probably the worst part about them, is my neighbours, who are British and in my opinion a bunch of useless chavs. I think too many people in London do actually live up to stereotypes, like everyone loves them because of there accent and they drink way to much tea. Although bad teeth would kind of be a side affect of drinking all that tea. So one stereotype is just the product of another.

The thing is, people look out for the stereotypes so they end up seeing the ones they look for. BTW thanks for that Asher and Ricky . PS I have average teeth and don't drink much tea, my parents put me of it.

All British people are automatically cool because of their accents, true story... this is true. A stereotype I can think of is bad teeth, gaps, crooked, etc. Just overall bad dental hygiene.

Oh the brittish,
How prosperous and witty Disregarding the fact that their teeth are gritty (with tea stains ofc) Stand six foot tall, with cane and top hat attire twenty-seven, the legal age to retire. Being able to speak in pentasyllabic words, Yet the males, wearing grey track suit pants With their hand firmly scratching those pubic ants. The other around a girl... How?!
