Amanda P: It was all tongue in cheek. Just having a laugh because it's all the stuff everybody in the world makes fun out of England for. There are alot of positives as well. Do you know how long the list would have been for other countries like America? Once again only joking because people get angry but you have to admit alot of it is true. Believe it or not but I love England apart from what I mentioned, it's so quaint and traditional.
Who the feck are you freakin paddy why not keep your anti English **** to yourself and go and make some little dolls from semtex, They hate us because we are the natural supreme nation and modest too
Conservatives.
cause we tend to not like anyone, dont know why though, maybe we just a country full of meanies
I think its because the english are soooo full of them seves as a nation england this england that. Im scottish and proud of it, we are friendly and welcoming, wehave a crap footie team but we still turn out in droves to support them, we have hogmany and know how to party, Every time i have met an english person they talk about how much england is better than this and how great england is to live. They need to learn to take they micky out of themselves
I love the Brits!! And I'm from America!
I think because we went to a lot of places and killed a lot of people during our imperial days. Aside from people the English directly conquered, we had rivalries with most of Europe and fought most of them too, so at times of war the England created stereotypes about their enemy and the enemy did to the English. Also for a long time the English suffered from what many Americans do now, we were the most powerful nation and the richest, we were very arrogant and disrespectful of other countries. Some English people still maintain that we should be telling all other countries what to do.
Think about hooligans..for example..
Max last two lines only missed one word out
arrogant. that is how the English are perceived
Why dont you try the culture site! Duhhhh! Am i in the wrong category, i thought this was cars and transportation?
cos they r ignorant
i think it just stems from the empire time but there are a few t**ts that are from england (im english btw) but on the most part we're not soo bad and im sure there are rather nasty people in all countrys
I don't know.
I hate all this don't like the E nglish, Don't like Muslims, Don't like Nigerians etc etc etc.
Judge each person you meet on their own merits and do not tar them with the problems of a nation.
I have met some fantastic Irish people and I have met some horrible Irish people. I have seen the IRA bombings but do not blame Irish people for that.
Its soooooo silly.
Sorry but thats how I feel.
I like nice friendly people whatever your race colour creed or religion.
i guess cos everyone has their fair share of the good the bad and the ugly.
Some of the answerer's received are what give nations a bad name. I am English but lived in Germany for 15 years, majority of the German people that knew us English, thought we were wonderful, and then went against their own people, saying they were rude and arrogant. But i must admit the English are getting very full of themselves.
Sometimes it has to do with our history. Where I live in Wales, lots of the land was just given to the English and even now, English people can come from their more expensive housing areas and make offers on houses that the locals here can't compete with - taking the area over again and forcing the locals out. Some might refer to this as a race memory. In Ireland there was the potato famine and the English government did not respond to the need quickly enough - so catastrophically people in your country starved. I am so sorry.
These things can set the stage for one country's people to dislike another country's.
if ur so friendly show a bit of love to the british irish up north.
Goodness knows why that should be !
You seem a bit unlucky
I have many good friends and relations, who are American
and i have never felt any hostility towards me
Could it be a little envy of our Royalty perhaps ?
maybe we speak, in a hoity toity way LOL!
I have a daughter in Belfast , she is happy teaching there
I have lived in England for a long time ,
people are people, here some are likable some are not
goes for all nations i think
>^,,^<
You havent met the right people!
Generally i think its a combination of many things. For example, british empire days, we've alot of clout 4 such a small country, being conservative, the british weather, our involvement with USA.we poke our noses in where perhaps we shouldnt.right down to the way we talk!
I suspect its probably only people who feel the need to dislike others that pick on a 'type' to vent their own feelings of insecurity. We have many friends and relatives from all over the Isles and we all get on and party together - never met any hostilities yet! So sad you feel like you do. Just take everyone on their face value and you could be in for a pleasant surprise - not just with the English, but Irish and Scots too (even tho you are from Ireland!)
Its sad to hear that the English aren't liked!
We ain't all bad..
Oh and Newmans Own, sorry you feel so strongly about us , but correct me if I am wrong, but didn't you you call a person asking if they were fed up with Muslims a 'Racist'?..
After that little rant..smacks of pot calling the kettle black if you ask me!
catch your self on Helen you tube. I bet you are from N.Ireland thinking your Irish when you know your from the UK (British) i bet you have a British passport and spending the British pound yes that's right the pound with our queen's head on it and as far as you go with the IRA they killed innocent men,women,kids,priests and unborn babies the IRA wasn't a army they were TERRORISTS YES THAT'S RIGHT TERRORISTS (remember the Omagh bomb B!TCH?) so go and crawl back into that flee biting hole that you popped your nut out of and let the rest of us mature adults kids and babies have a long peaceful life because wee deserve it..
Whats does this have to with Cars and Transportation?
Helen.. You are an a** h***.
English people are not perfect but then i cant think of a nationality that are? Helen you are a paddy for f**k sake, didn't you ever hear about people in glass houses? I mean what the hell is an impire, hello. paddy and murphy jokes!?!
As for NewmansOwn, be careful you don't choke on that cake dear.
Helen:
I'm an American of British and Irish ancestry so I like the English, and I equally like the Irish (but I'm not too excited about the French.)
