    stereotypical views of U.K and U.S.A

    just thought about the ideas we picture in our heads of each other.....here in the U.K we tend to think of people in the US as loving everything big....big cars .....big houses....big meals....a bit loud...but very friendly...always willing to complain if they arnt happy with the service in a resturant or with public services.....were as we in the U.K are the total opposite!.....why????

    I think it's mostly what people see in the news and other media.

    When I think UK, I think people hanging out in pubs watching football (that soccer kind :p)

      Hey you just described me. Oh well some stereotypes are right then.
      Rumour has it that Van Halen have continued in recent years with a new lead signer, but since there 1985 breakup, nobody involved has ever recaptured that spontaneous cheeseburger magic!

        Eh, I dunno if it's a common stereotype of UK guys. I've known a few and that's what they were all into, so I generally picture them. My one friend wasn't though. He was this huge economics genius. And the cutest accent.

        Love the accent!

          It's more of a Scottish stereotype then general British people. I have a wierd accent (I'm half South American and half Scottish).

            Everytime I hear a Scottish accent I either think the one Scottish guy form Star Trek (not Scotty, the other one from teh newer series) or Groundskeeper Willie.

              Groundskeeper Willie all the way. He's your ultimate in stereotypical Scots.
