Gonna steal from [mash], who wrote this line:

what do you think the UK is identified with in the world?


I thought it's a good question, actually. And is kinda lost in a thread about bashing a soon-to-be 3rd world country.
So here are my thoughts:

I kinda have a split view of the English or rather I pictures two groups of English people, All opinions are very subjective and biased, as the question demands.

On the one hand: respectable, educated, open to that world, yet conservative and somewhat boring statesmen types with a distinct sense of humour.

On the other hand: many herds of sheep, unable and unwilling to look beyond their own nose and to experience anything new.

Also: bad teeth for both groups (just an image in my head, sue me)


Anyone mind to share the views of the English, have a go at the Germans or any other country for that matter? I really am curious.

Remember, this is not where you show how open - minded and forgiving you are, but to describe the picture(s) that first comes to mind when you think of the "... people", Have fun.
