What is your opinion of the British?

I am British and proud of it but what does the rest of the world think of us?

 

You guys are good folks.

 

I have nothing against the british. You guys are alright. I don't agree with your societal structure, or your dependence on government, but you are free to govern yourselves how you wish.

Top Gear is a great show!

 

I don't view the British as a singular unit. There are English, Scots, Welsh, Northern Irish, and I'm sure others.

I enjoy their comedies and their mystery novels. It's a shame the government has abandoned the people.

 

You folks got a lot of history, and a country that spawned Motorhead, can't be that bad.

 

You won the Ashes.....i hate you.

 

Darn you red-coats!!

Just kidding, I really like British music and television. Even your food has improved since Gordon Ramsey became rose to prominence. All-in-all I give Britain a B+, for being British. Good job.

 

You are ok.. but I wish your bloody royals would stop pretending their private lives are of any interest to us!

You are very talented in music and story-telling, your football clubs are tip-top... but you don't compare to the All Blacks!

I look forward to the 2012 Olympics... but I will be dead before you are any good in Winter sports

 

I look at you as a distant relative. I don't care much for your social/economic system, but I do not have to fund it, I think.

 

When I think of British I think of the Spy Who Shagged Me

 

If you end up taking the Super Bowl one of these years I will hate your forever.

 

I love your accents...mostly. I don't care for the "Royal" accent your royalty tends to have.

Love your history. The Empire was a good thing in my opinion. Started a lot of great colonies that have succeeded. And like my fellow Okie said above....I see England as a relative of sorts.

 

The average Brit is OK but their governments are as bad as the Americans.

 

Red Dwarf rules! In fact, science fiction in general would be far worse off without British people to play all the bad guys.

Basically, I think that the Brits have the best comedians and the weirdest food. I mean, c'mon ... spotted dick? You're putting us on, right?

 

I like the British, but can you tell kate and william we don't give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about you and please cancel your trip to Canada, we don't wanna pay for your bull(*)(*)(*)(*) you lazy spoiled brats

 

This current lot certainly are.........

 

Good man! Red Dwarf is easily one of my very favourite TV shows, apparently they are working on a new series but not with the BBC, I await to see if its any good.

And spotted dick has been the staple of rude jokes by school kids in the UK for years, closely followed by pork (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s , ha!

I have eaten in many countries on my travels, and the UK has some of the best produce you will find, and a huge mix of other cultural dishes introduced to the country.

 

Red Dwarf was truly a great programme. Best British programme ever has to go to Doctor Who, though!

 

English is not the only language in the world, British should learn more different languages and open to other cultures.

 

In general I like the Brits..

Although they tend to think American Southerners are dumb because we speak slowly.

 

Good folks and bad, just like everywhere else.
Not sure how I feel about monarchy, but that's y'alls business, not mine.
Had a great time to visit, met lots of nice people, love tea time and scones, and hope to visit once again.
Just don't let me drive. Its not a good idea.

 

It's not our fault you drive on the wrong side of the road.

 

Thing is, I didn't really have problems going on the WRONG side of the road as much as switching back to the RIGHT side.

 

Indeed. Cameron is bringing chaos to our country, just as Thatcher did.

 

As a whole, I'm not really fond of the place or the people. The weather is morbid, the general populace is cold, I find most of the accents irritating, I find the fact that you retain a monarchy laughable, and my general experience has been that you lot are, as a whole, inordinately pompous for such an unimportant nation.

On the more positive side, I enjoy many of the older British comedians. Monty Python and Douglas Adams, specifically. London was also fun to meander around. Churchill was quite the wartime leader as well.
