Okay I have to say I'm mainly doing this to learn more about other cultures.

Stereotypes are a reflection of the majority of the social norm at some point in the history of that society, or a crude exaggeration and generalization intended to offend. Stereotypes can be held out of ignorance, irony or maybe they're true.
I'm purely interested to learn about these stereotypes and see how they're defied seeing as everyone is different.

Well in England, although I do love a cup of tea, I'm not a fan of getting wasted and fighting in football grounds even though I have at some point. I wouldn't die for the Queen and my teeth are pretty good. In Middlesbrough (North East) its true that most people moan about the south and teenage pregnancy is fairly high. I mostly just complain about the weather though.

Worldwide:

Speaks like Stephen Fry
Enjoy a good glass of brandy
Follow football (soccer? SOCCER?? fuck off!) religiously
Enjoy a good afternoon of cricket, though not when my languid medium-pacers are smacked for four or when we're losing to Kent at Chelmsford (good debut from Topley, though)

Mmmm, yes, English snob!

In England:

I ain't no chav, man! No way I'm wearing Burberry.

Nope. I'm much smarter than my location's stereotype says I should be.

My location's stereotype says I should be out playing basketball with a bunch of high school dropouts, while trying to score some weed and beer.
