Aren't British Just The Best

riiiight... so do you think they'll ever get rid of the Monarchy in England? I don't really see it happening...

I have no doubt though that it'll be gone in NZ in the not too distant future, and probably Australia as well...

I like your sig InKeeper where's it from?

Britain, Britain, Britain!... We've had running water for over ten years and we invented the cat!

if you are to compare Brits to Americans...i have no idea...both of them are TOTALLY INTO themselves.

and apparently fail to notice about all the other ppl around the world.

but I think you're right to say we can't generalise like that...

But from what I've seen of Americans - admittedly mainly through TV - is that they are very stuck up and care only about themselves... and they're all drama queens but that's another story

The British... not so much.

According to TV:
Americans are self-centered drama queens.
Brits are tea drinking pansies.
Aussies are back-water nature freaks.
Mexicans are fence-hopping alcoholics.
Asians are karate-chopping convenient store owners.
Everyone else is non-existant.

Hmm, I guess I can deal with being a self-centered drama queen.

i can deal with being a tea drinking pansie
nothing wrong with a good cup of tea
bastards

Tea isn't all that bad if it's cold, but hot tea just tastes like heated water.

I love tea, hot or iced 😄

😄 I think that's a fair statement as to how America views the rest of the world... 😉

of course I am generalising but that is how American's are portrayed...

and by television I was really referring to American Reality TV (how much of which is actually reality i dunno...) and how American's on those sort of shows come off...

Homer to TV: "Teacher, mother... secret lover" 😄

i disagree....i'll make u a cup of british tea..😄

Not really -- nearly my whole family is from England or Ireland 😛

British are cool, I guess. Don't really know any in real life, but the ones I've met on this site seem ace.

apart from me 😛

Oh, yeah, of course. You give all brits a bad name. 😛

Britain has Chavs though.

The less you know about them, the better.

The Queen is the only person who can disolve parliment as well as open it.

She does have the power to over turn an act of parliment if she chooses to as she is the head of state Tony Blair is merely her prime minister.

Although she hasn't used this power and probably never will Tony Blair as well as Major and Thatcher before him has meetings with the Queen where he fills her in on the plans for the country.

I'm not a big fan of the monarchy in fact I cringe at the thought of Charles on the Throne and Camilla as queen but if we didn't have them then Blair would be president and that thought scares the crap out of me!

A lot of the Queens power is now purely for ceremony but in theory if she chose to she would wield a lot of power.

Anyway back to the Brits are best thing well we the best at Football violence we scare other countries shitless!

No one makes tea like us.

We have red buses.

And Black Cabs

And last week our house got a flushing indoor toilet.

What more do ya want from life?

Brits are okay IMO.

Honestly, whats with everyone saying Americans only care about America? I mean of course America is our main concern, we live here. If you live in England, I'm not going to expect you to keep up with issues that only affect America, so why does everyone else expect us to care about what goes on in other parts of the globe if it has no effect on our lives whatsoever? That makes no sense.

He loved Di, but Charles is an undecisive man.

no offence or anything but i like the british accent better than the americans one.

Some british accents are ok... but some sound really stupid, like that Streets guy. I like Michael Caine's accent. I don't know why his voice just popped into my head...

I actually like American accents... most of them. Not New York ones, they really bug me.

But nothing can be worse than NZ accents... *cringe*

i still rule.
