A person from England. Nice enough
people, very
good beer, similar culture and sense of humor to that of the US. Except for the ones who need to constantly slag off/rag on the US, refering to it as "a colony" and insisting that Americans pronounce and spell
words incorrectly because Americans have different customs etc...Basically Americans wish that the
ex-pat Brits who act as if as if they ran the world would kindly leave. Not all brits are whinging poms, both Eric Idle and John Cleese have settled in the US and they seem to get along just fine. It's the British that seem to despise anything slightly different from home that we are
sick of. The rest of you are welcome to come on over!
Just as there is the "ugly American" tourist stereotype, there are "Awful Brits" that travel around and give the English
people in general a bad name. The British often "win" world's worst tourist titles because of this.
The british lout became upset that the
word "color" was spelt without a "u" in the US and decided to pontificate about the superiority of the English. The nerve of another country - having different ways of doing things!
When the waiter mistakenly asked if he was
Australian due to his accent, the British tourist loudly berated the
man for being a "typically stupid American", not realising that the waiter was actually Canadian.
