    Identity Crisis

    Having spent most of my adult life as a traveler and curious observer I believe I can spot a dyed in the wool German, Frenchie or Scandinavian.
    Globalisation and rampant horny travelers may have diluted the gene pool, but a yank is just as easy to spot. Apart from obvious facial features, smell, mannerisms and dress sense, appearance and bearing are often a dead giveaway.
    Can you tell a taffy from a troglodyte?

    I most certainly can as I am Welsh myself. We speak English better than people born in England. Both my grandfathers would have lived happily as troglodytes as both were miners.

    It's hard to tell various nationalities from just looking at them.. especially western people.

    When they open their mouth and speak English i can distinguish, French, German, Scandinavian, dutch and Eastern European/Russian accent easily.

    Eastern Europeans and Russians think speedos are still fashionable.

    The Welsh are easy to spot. When they are not singing, or playing rugby, they love to gossip, finishing each sentence with “Isn’t it?” Rumour has it they have an affinity for sheep, but when questioned on the subject respond with, “We fuck em, you eat em.”

    some decade ago, aussies were easily spotted with their bermuda shorts and a tattoo (some sun thing) on the arm... not sure, if this feature wasnt watered down meanwhile...

    its puzzling, that the face often tells... i dont know what it is precisely, but it does... maybe its not the features, but the expression...?

    I can often spot older Aussies by their leathery skin. Either Aussie or Texan.

    You're being shallow, puerile, and childish.

    Grow up.

    Old Brits are usually grubby smokers with bad teeth.
    Americans often wear sloppy clothes like t-shirts and many are fat.
    Germans have a strange frustration or strange happiness in their face.
    Mexicans look Mexican.

    Thais often have a drop-jawed, vacant expression with a finger up one nostril.

    My big noise and bad teeth give me away as a Brit immediately.
