I'm English sooo.. :

We are all posh and drink tea from little dinky cups.
We all love and praise the Queen. Quite frankly, I couldn't give two shits about her.
We have bad teeth.

English stereotypes:

- Speaking posh like the queen... Trust me, the majority of us don't XD
- Drinking tea with scone's. - Me and my friend's always laugh at that one
- Bowler hat's and umbrellas.
- Good at cricket / have village green cricket.
- Stiff upper lip - o.o whaaaaaaaat? I've never seen anyone like that...
- Saying the words 'splendid' and 'terribly' and old fashioned words/phrases like 'cheerio', 'spiffing' etc.
- Full English breakfast.
- Fish and chips (Can't stand fish )
- Teeth are bad. -.-
- Rain's 'every' day.
- Queen fanatic's. We all overly praise and love her... (Honestly, I don't really care about the royal family :l)

Scottish Stereotypes:
- Men wear kilt's. (Not one of my family, over in Scotland, has ever worn a kilt )
- Play bagpipes
- Toss tree's
- Rough Scottish accent
- Eat's haggis (Bleh... ... Never tried it, never will)
- Either support Celtic or Ranger's
- Protestant or Catholic
- Hate the English.
-

actually, some of those are taken from fact.

my family actually support aberdeen but hey, theres still quite a lot of celtic and rangers supporters.

and most of them do hate the english To be honest. it took 15 years for one of my dads friends to finally accept my mum for being english and my dads best mate, is from the same town as my dad and lives across from us, he wouldnt let his son have an england footy kit.

also, try haggis, its amazing (although the scottish don't eat it every day. really don't)

Mhmm, most of them are based on fact and partly true But what I meant with the Celtic and Ranger's part was that every Scottish person would either support one or the other.

And... I've never met a Scottish person that hates an English person. o.O (Lived in Scotland until I was around the age of 6-7 and have visited lot's and lot's of times)

Haggis? Nah, I think I'll stay away thanks. :]
I'm a very picky eater lol, but thanks for suggesting I try it.
