The British

Now, according to some people, there is an overwhelming stereotype as to what a typical English person is. It is a cultural phenomenon that never seems to go away. They are reserved, rather posh, polite, overdressed and are obsessed with saying “thank you” more than it is probably necessary. They also drink too much tea.

However, it is safe to say that Britain is for the most part absolutely nothing like Downton Abbey. If you don’t know what Downton Abbey is, I would suggest you add it to your list of TV shows to watch soon. It is a great example of what I am talking about here.

They are tolerant, polite, they have a good sense of humour, they love sport (football, cricket, rugby are their favourites).

You may be called by many different affectionate names, according to what part of England you are visiting. Don’t be offended of course, this is very normal. For example, you may be called dear, dearie, flower, love, chick, chuck, me duck, me duckie, mate, guv, son, lad, ma’am, madam, miss, sir, according to your gender, age and location.

That’s a lot right? I told you.

What do people think of when they think of Spain and the Spaniards? Do you think these stereotypes are true or false?
