Erm, I think so. Us Canadians aren't very fond of Americans either (although we have our fair share of rednecks... unfortunately).vivadelkitty said:
Personally, I love the English. Yup.
I do not like regional accents, especially what I would call neo-Yorkshire - not fun old quirky Granville accents, but shite, barbaric-sounding whining accents. I blame the youth, like all good Englishmen should.
Anyways, I am an Englishman who doesn't like most of the English. But I don't like many people. There aren't enough well-spoken and eccentric people here for one.

Not true-we're still a major force for global destabilisation, double standards and mindless avarice. Its just these days we do it by selling guns to folk, lending them money to buy more guns, then forcing them to open all their infrastructure to private foreign business when they can't pay us back- Goodho.JanatUrlich said:
You want to try living here - everytime the world cup comes round that same pitiful chirpy optimism rears its stupid head, bedecked in StGeorges crosses, singing specious fucking songs.Zepren said:
You know what? I don't remember 1966, it was 44 fucking years ago and I wasn't born so fuck the fuck off and take your six pack of Stella with you, because there is no way in hell I'm lending moral support to a pud-faced thug in any endeavour unless it involves him eating his own cro-magnon face. Especially when his name is comparable to the moan my Grandad utters when he's doing a particularly hard shit; "ROOOOOOOOONEH".
Perhaps Scotland could show it's largesse by setting up a World Cup refugees program for the dozen or so Englishmen that don't go on all day about long past wars/sporting events. I for one would be very grateful.
Hm, my predecessor? I am the Lord Louis Francis Albert Victor Nicholas George Mountbatten, albeit reborn. I'm a Time Lord you see. I regenerated rather a while ago, and forgive you scamps for trying to kill me. I hadn't iterated my noble intentions, for you see, I was secretly trying to free Northern Ireland, but to do this I needed the British government's help, which required me to seem like an enemy and, well, it's quite a long story, but that boat was needed for my goal to store up 1.21 gigawatts (as we all know, 1.21 gigawatts are required to power a time-travelling device). The flux capacitor was previously damaged.Kazturkey said:
Sadly, my arch-nemesis, posing as a member of the IRA, used a special device to destroy my TARDIS, which was the boat. Luckily, I survived to regenerate, and only some expendable OAPs and young teenagers died in the explosion.
And so, Lord Mountbatten lives again to continue his work, and yet now I am able to quite openly state my intentions. I have however, acquired a different TARDIS and am steering clear of bodies of water for the time being. My arch-nemesis is in Downing Street last time I heard, which bodes ill for us all.
i am ashamed to say that i threatened a Swedish lady with a crumpet before...she called tea weak, i never drink weak tea.
When I think of Britain, depending on the context, I think of one of the following:
A bunch of uptight nobles drinking tea and talking about a "jolly good game of cricket"
Knife wielding youth, either with shaved heads or mohawks speaking in broken English that gives us Americans a run for the worst traitors to the language, being in mosh pits and fighting.

Good Lord! One can only hope you weren't in the smoking room of you local club/society when this dreadful breach of decorum occured or you may never be able to show your face to your fellows again. Not even in the steam baths should such shocking displays of emotion and monocle abuse be allowed to pass without comment. If this were indeed the situation I fear only a posting in the colonies for several years would allow the shame to fade to a point where you could reasonably be allowed to once again grace polite society.pantsoffdanceoff said:
I like England... as a part of my Socials final I talked about how Canada-land wouldn't even be a major country with you guys! 
(I understand you were fighting the French for Canada when it was declared British... but most of Canada doesn't even like Quebec, so we definitely would not liked to be french...)

I imagine most of the English are fine people, with the few exceptions that cause the stereotypes to arise.
I try not to buy into the stereotypes of any particular people.
