Top Ten False Stereotypes About the British

We all have our opinion about the British, but in reality, how false is it?
The Top Ten
1 They Drink Tea All the Time

As a brit, I drink tea all the time... But there's probably someone out there who doesn't... No me or anyone I've met so far, but someone...

We do drink a lot of tea, just not everyone does, and it's not just out of the blue, it's usually if we have company or with a meal.

I do, but that doesn't mean all the other Brits do as well

I'm not British myself, but I LOVE tea!

2 They Are All Posh

Harri 666 if you believe that stereotype is stupid then quit stereotyping Americans as most of the things you talk about badly are completely wrong

This false stereotype is the stupidest thing ever,

3 They Hate Americans

Yes you Brits do every time I go on a chat room some Brit is just hating on the YOU.S. and if you don't agree just look at all the hate lists about the YOU.S. calling us fascists when you ruled have the world for hundreds of years and now you are basically powerless but we can level China with 3 nuclear missile silos (and we have 500 so yay)

This isn't true! I'm American and I know this isn't true, mostly because the British are funny and nice. And plus, if British hated Americans, why would a lot of judges and other T.V. people in America be British?

That's untrue. As a Brit, I feel completely normal towards American types.

No, I love America!

4 They Don't Brush Their Teeth

Sorry our dentists brush our teeth. (When I first went to the dentist I didn't know what mouth wash was and eew) We have braces for straightening teeth which is nightmares.

Then why didn't the British die out within a few generations? Us British blokes just sound more flamboyant compared to other accents.

What? We'll I don't think we need to brush our teeth all the time with the new stuff in toothpaste that makes it cleaner...

Britain and Germany are tied for the best dental care in the world.

5 They Are Extremely Rude

I am british and I'm only rude because it's a defense mechanism.

6 They Are Arrogant and Boastful
7 The Men Are Gay

Wouldn't go that far.
But you do appear to have more than your fair share of beta types.

8 Crumpets and Tea, Govnah?

Crumpets sometimes, but I like cereal more.
I like coffee more than tea, I have been to costa coffee.

9 They Have Really Grotty Weather

The worst year of rain I remember was 2007.
Yeah we have a lot of rain.
But we do have hot weather, sunshine, go to the beach.
When we go to the beach it's not raining, we go in the right time.
Not every part of the UK has floods. Ever lived in the North West? No because we don't have floods. We don't have the most dangerous weather like other countries. Oh no its Hurricane "name"

Um, this is true though. It rains every season a countless amount of times a week.

10 Never Have Heatwaves

If we apparently never had heatwaves then why did we have a heatwave in 2018?

The Contenders
11 They Are All Alcoholics
12 They Are All Thick In Essex

Essex has been in a dignity crisis ever since the idiotic drama set there was first broadcast. Now, they're the butt of many a joke. Which is unfair. My father's family have lived in Essex in the past, and they're far from thick.

I just ignore The Only Way Is Essex, and you should too and you will feel better.

I'm from essex, in have a high IQ, but all the people around me are just...yeah...

13 They Are Nice

List made by a Yank, oh we are evil are we.

14 Everyone either speaks in the Queen's English or Cockney accents

Not everyone is royalty and not everyone is from the East End

15 They Love Talking About the Weather

No I never talk about the weather whoever said that was biased.

16 Always Eat the Cooked Breakfast
17 Only Eat Pancakes on Pancake Day

What a stupid LIE.

18 They Have a Stiff Upper Lip
19 They All Smoke Pipes
20 They All Love Harry Potter
21 They All Love the British Empire
22 They are Like Eastenders
23 They All Live in London
24 They are All Anti Social
25 They are All Obsessed with the Royal Family
