crackin stuff boyo, proper valley basher lol (my friend is half welsh and proud)

my stereotypes of other brits:

Irish: drunk, love Liverpool's arse off (too right they do)

Scots: don't really know many scots

Northern Welsh: slightly different accent, hate us (i wouldn't really go there if it wasn't for the ice rink)

Southern Welsh: proper valley basher

Mancs: thievin gets (gits in scouse) who use our words about a year after they've been in fashion.

Geordies: don't know their arse from their elbow

Cockneys: market stall owners

Essex boys and girls: ......do I really have to explain this?



btw - sorry if i offended anyone

Hey I got no problem with scousers, in fact everyone that I know love people from Liverpool.... ¬_¬ But then again alot of people in Wrexham support Everton and Liverpool.
BTW I have a scouse Biology teacher and she is very sound.

Everyone's got something against skaters (skateboarding, that is). Bunch of crap. Preppy highschool couples rollerblading are never given trouble.

Just after reading this thread, which so far is mostly composed of the brit members... I've concluded that:

I couldnt understand most of what was said.


It's like a different kind of english.. its the same, but it's completely different..

Call em' Fruit Booters Anywho, my school was extremely diverse... So no real stereotypes I guess, I mean obviously they are evrywhere... But none really stood out. If you saw MTV Pranks, we forked the school. Pretty sweet. I was pissed I didn't ge shown on TV, cause I helped out being an extra. Anywho, if I had to pin point a stereotype, I guess its being 'ghetto'.... You know the slang i'm talking about. I don't mind if someones truly like that. But the people I grew up with and just started acting the part all of a sudden pisses me off ALOT! I skate, play in a band, play sports, and almost down for anything.. And I never got any shit. Most people are pretty cool here. outside my town though... Were known to be one of the fattest cities... In good ol' Philadelphia! you CANT resist a REAL philly cheesesteak from Pat's.... You just cant. Im really sick of being in other cities/states and seeing 'Philly Cheese steaks'... It doesn't count!

A common UK stereotype is that we all have questionable personal hygiene, namely bad teeth.

This quite clearly isn't the case with the majority of us but the reason we don't all have pearly whites is due to the fact that finding an NHS dentist over here is like trying to find shit made of gold.

The few private dentists there are require you to take out a loan for even the smallest treatment. One of my colleagues needed a single filling and had to pay about £150! That's about $280!!

yeah, they really do sting ya. We're on NHS (god help us) and my big sister never had a single problem with her teeth, but when she hit 18, she needed all sorts of expensive treatments, which of course, being an adult, she had to pay for.
