Show all answers


*******
Same as in any other country.


king_sinky
the good thing about us brits is when the going gets tough we all pull 2gether,when we get knocked down we get back up again
the bad thing is our crazy booze drinking espescially us scots
and the lack of discipline in our youth


Bite me
Bad teeth


jimmy two times
Is this a question to allow all the Yanks to slag us off? I expect answers of bad teeth and hairy armpits.
Mind you thats the same for Rednecks isn't it?

THE SAME AS GOOD AND BAD THINGS ABOUT ANY NATIONALITY

Good things about brits are: -

their ability to kick *** in war.

Damned good at partying.

Bad things are everything else.


yahoohoo
Ha ha, I haven't seen any bad things.


If I ruled the World
Good: Sense of humour and intelligence of middle/upper class people.

Bad: Arrogance due to the class system in Britain.


Tanya
British people have a better sense of humor than most Americans, I'd say it's a 'dry' sense of humor as opposed to 'slap stick' in America. British people are very friendly and welcoming too and don't judge as much as most Americans do.

Bad things....their teeth!


Andy
Good things:
1. Cricket
2. Fair Play
3. The Common Law
4. Shakespeare
5. Trusts (as in "settlement trusts")

Bad things:
1. Haggis
2. Europhobia (as in "wogs begin at Calais")
3. The weather
4. Public transport ("sorry guv, train's been cancelled; leaves on the rails you know")
5. Lack of public control, which is part and parcel of the State having its (admittedly ambiguous) goals confused by external norms imposed by (1) the Human Rights Act 1998, (2) the European Communities Act 1972 and (3) the Geneva Refugee Convention 1950. (Britain, unlike the States of Continental Europe, depends on border controls for immigration management. It also is tied in knots by a mixed commitment to an undefined "multiculturalism". That's perhaps in principle a good thing, but it puts at risk what is "British" in favour of a vague post-modernist mishmash.)

Why the Brits?? Why not peeps in general????

The good thing is they have such a courageous leader like Tony Blair who will stand up for what is right regardless of the consequences to his popularity

Using the word 'British' covers a huge range of people.
Scottish, English and Welsh people have many differences from each other yet also many similarities.
In England, northeners and southerners are very different and in Scotland people from the Islands live in a very different culture than those on the mainland.

Also to all of the people who answered saying that British people had bad teeth - that is a ridiculous and ignorant thing to say. I have perfect teeth and so do all my friends and work colleagues. The people with bad teeth are the minks. A minority. The same goes for people in America. I guess alot of Americans have good teeth but I would hazard a guess that a very similar proportion of people there as those in Britain have bad teeth.

On a similar subject - what do people dislike about non-Brits??
Their ignorance.

One thing I hate about the British is their smug attitudes towards Americans, the British I have encountered all seem to have a superiority complex.

We have a unique sense of humour. We can take the piss out of people, we know what we mean- they don't !!!HA HA

We're not full of ourselves. We know what we are and aren't

Anything bad?- C'mon is there anything bad about us?
Our teeth? There no different to the Americans teeth, and they pay obscene amounts of money to get them fixed!!!


Am I bovered?
British people are generally cold. It all about me me me! they don't sit round the table to eat as a family they sit in front of the tv instead with a burger.
Good points: not many oh they don't like to complain or make a scene

Good: they have good music sometimes, the accent is sometimes hot on certain guys, just look at Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley...the people are so pretty sometimes!

Bad: Uhm...horrible teeth?

Bad teeth - get over it - like the poor people in America who have no health insurance and can't afford to get theirs done, take a look closer to home.....you guys can be so ignorant sometimes, so I'm guessing you must be from middle class families who have paid to have their teeth done and not some poor individual who can't actually afford it, try not to be quite so narrow minded
Oh and while I'm thinking about it this is exactly what people mean when they say Americans can be insular and ignorant. Try actually leaving your own state/country to come visit England and see for yourselves.


Adam P
it seriously gets on my nerves when they say "rubbish" and "ar-se"
other than that theyre pretty much just like us
