Well; being Irish, I can say a fair few of you are absolute pricks, and there is no doubt about that whatsoever. But a lot of you are quite polite and easy to talk to; so you're kinda mixed.
And I Say you are a drunk wife beater.

Good talk! =]
Except that my points were actually true...

Oh, and being 16 (nearly 17... so close!), I don't have a wife and I'm not a drunkard... Yet.

But still, no, I don't drink and I don't plan on doing so; complete waste of money.

I'm 16, from England, and have never met a posh person in my area. I live in Reading, so that's not saying much, but still. The only posh people are over 60.
Woo, I'm from reading too, HIGH FIVES.
HIGH FIVE! Oh sorry, too slow. :p
Whereabouts in Reading? Do you know where Twyford is? Cause I live near there, in Charvil.
It's not actually in Reading, but on the outskirts. I have Reading in my postcode though. :)
I live in caversham heights, Which is apparently a posh area although my house looks like shit, it looks like a squatters house from google images.

The few English people that I have met were very polite and nice, so kudos.

On a side note, American television tends to only show two British stereotypes: the proper, polite, uptight Brit who is always looking for a cup a "real" tea or the angry, potty mouth, kick you in your teeth badass Brit who has been listening the Clash too much.

I'm over the top polite. visit the UK, and I don't meet many polite people D:
there are some, but I haven't met many. :(
The stereotype shows English in a better light than most people deserve. unfortunately.

Fixed for you.

After all, the English are tea-swigging tuxedo wearing gents that kiss a poster of the Queen every night before going to bed. Go further North into Scotland and there is as much politeness here as in Bernard Manning visiting a foreign country.

OT: It depends. The further south they go generally the more polite they are. I still think Londoners are tossers though.

Depends really, met a few on holidays in Spain and had a blast. Every country will have its share of morons though, which is a shame :(

Our national language is Sarcasm.

What do you think?
Secret national language... Jeez...

There is a reason our sarcasm is subtle... because we are always sarcastic, you cant give away our national secrets like that...

Your punishment is the standard "Cold cup of tea"... with biscuits... we arent monsters after all. :D
