Top Ten British Stereotypes Americans Believe are True

1. We all have bad teeth

   I smile a lot. I HAVE to have nice teeth.

2. We just drink tea

   Definitely not true - a lot of us Brits are starting to take a liking to coffee these days as well (with myself being no exception! )

3. We only care about royalty

   NOT all British people care about royalty.

4. We all speak like the Queen

   I come from Windsor (one of the main residences for the Queen and the place where she is in coronavirus isolation) and I have pretty much never heard anyone speak like her other than other royals, politicians, and some news people

   In Scotland, where I live, most people sound nothing like the Queen at all; the east end Glaswegian accent is the polar opposite of the Queen's accent. Other parts of UK speak totally different from the way the Queen does too.

5. We go to the pub all the time

   Not true at all - I almost can't stand the places!

6. We maintain a stiff upper lip

7. We eat terrible food

   Isn't America the home of the fast food?

8. The only popular place is London

9. We send all our kids to posh schools

   Everyone is not upper-class.

   I went to a schools that was just like other countries.

   We just had the uniforms and Americans don't. But we had non-uniform days.

   I would've hated to go to a posh school, living there. Its not Hogwarts.

   Chav schools are sadly everywhere and they're nasty places! I could not feel more blessed that the nearest schools to me are a couple of posh ones just around the corner from my house.

   6% go to private schools - and even so, it by posh people mean Eton/Harrow then you are looking at even less.

10. We like to queue

    I can't speak for you personally, but I, and many others despise queuing but it's a necessary evil. Although more and more nowadays the "form a queue" has become "former queue" there are some places where this civilized tradition is a thing of the past.

    LOL in the shops?

    At the till?

    If it's a really busy day.

The Newcomers
11. ?

    We all eat the cornish pie with fish heads protruding through the crust (stargazy pie)

12. ?

    We all speak cockney

The Contenders

13. We hate France

    What is this the 100 year war still?

    That was hate France.

    Misogyny killed Joan of Arc for wearing mans clothes.

    We have lessons on speak French in school.

14. We are all hostile

15. We want the empire back

    You have been brainwashed by Brave Heart, The Patriot and Bollywood. Grow up.

16. We stick to ourselves

17. We talk to a stranger's dog

18. We are anti social

19. Men wear hats and smoke pipes

20. We wear bowler hats

21. We are snobbish

22. We say "a bo oh ol o wa ehr"
