Here we go with the stereotypes!

 

We could also see the whole of America as hill billies. Anyway good positves from the rest of the Americans, we tend to see America as are very big little brother

We don't have accents, that'd be everyone else with one of those.

Yes, I find your government far too "police state" for my tastes, but hey, I don't live there. No skin off my nose.

 

Police state? I must've missed something. No offense but I've never seen anything to suggest any real oppression. Now in a police state the police would probably carry stun guns, machine guns, pepper spray, wear bullet proof armour, and so on. Most of ours don't even carry guns.

"The English are like their beer. Foam at the top, dregs at the bottom. Excellent in the middle."

 

Please tell me the Americans aren't like their beer!

 

The reason the stereotypes survive, and this isn't just the States and England but all countries, is that when touring people seem to almost try to live up to their stereotypes, doing things they'd never do back home out of some universal instinct. And yes, I'm as guilty of this as anyone else as I proved when I was almost ill after asking for tea and being given some herbal stuff.

Accents: please, please please American directors just get English people to do English accents! I quite like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and occasionally watch "Frasier" - God but the accents are awful! (Spike's not TOO bad but the rest - phew!)

 

Even more impassioned plea - NO Americans to ever attempt Irish accents from now on please. Ever. Never. Never ever. It's excruciating! And don't even think about trying a Northern Irish accent - it isn't going to work!
