That we're English and that we **** sheep.

Irish? 

We need a bigger clue than that to determine where you're from.

Ok we all eat haggis and play bagpipes.

Some dicks think people from England ride on horses still while fighting with swords like medieval knights. They think we all speak with posh accents while drinking tea. I hate tea and the only people who speak posh are the rich folk from central London.

I'd say Scotland.

About Britain - that the whole country is England. And by England, they usually mean London.

About England specifically - that we have bad teeth, live in castles, have the Queen on speed-dial, are obsessed with tea and empires, speak in either Recieved Pronounciation or cockney accents, "would be speaking German right about now if not for the US". And some other things.

About my region of England - that we're all coal miners, working class, men wear flat-caps, and that various letters don't exist in our vocabulary.

Pretty Grim there Rue.

I actually do drink beer, eat vegimite, occaisionally surf, put prawns on the bbq plate, have a tan, swear like a soldier, am a 'first fleeter' and Kangaroos really do hop down my street.
Not seeing a problem.

Welsh, at least that's what Andrew would lead me to believe. Apparently there's a communal one for each town. Sociology.

I do believe then that you're also supposed to be dying of consumption.

Consumption of MacDonalds, that is.

I think the more traditional form of consumption is preferable.

Drente? Friesland?

[marshalleck]

I live in Portland, Oregon.

Everyone not from Portland seems to think it's full of hipsters and hippies. It's not. The majority of people here are pretty normal.

I live in Iron River, Michigan currently.

People incorrectly assume that everyone up here wears flannel. They're wrong. They wear flannel, have beards, and hunt.

Before that I lived in Wilmington, Delaware. Anyone not from Wilmington seemed to think it was a nice place.

It wasn't. It was and always will be a cesspool.

Brits in Scotland?  Shocking.  What is the world coming to?

[Dave of Canada]

I live in an igloo, eat whale blubber and tame polar bears.

Don't try too hard to guess, it's impossible.

 That we're all Satan worshippers and the spawn of evil
Guess, I dare you.

After living in 9 different countries it gets stale hearing the following time after time;

1 - So where is your Kilt?

2- Haggis? Shortbread? Bagpipes?

3- You like whisky eh?

I try to explain that the kilt hasnt been worn conventionally for hundreds of years but it always falls on deaf ears. Also that nowadays its unpayable for your average joe since it costs a few hundred bucks just to rent one for a day.

I always eat haggis though every year to celebrate the life of Robert (Rabbie) Burns. Shortbread is for tourists as is bagpipes.

I like my whisky but we sell the overpriced stuff abroad or to tourists.


Some stereotypes have the grain of truth however

[Druss99]

That we believe in Leprechauns, we don't, but we do believe in stupid tourists.

That we are all drunks, we aren't, enough alcohol to get drunk is fairly expensive and only actual alchoholics are drunk all the time.

That we hate the English more than anyone, we don't, we hate other Irish people more than anyone. We rarely ever blow up the English but are always blowing each other up. American's are possibly second on the list for people we dislike.

That Ireland is full of rolling green fields and hills and we all live in thatch cottages. Well we also have what can laughingly be referred to as cities.

That we all speak Irish and can do Irish dancing or even like Irish dancing. We do not, thats like saying all Americans can line dance.
