I found this quite a fun site- quite a few nationalities covered too.

Waddya think? are the streotypes true, false? I found them mostly true.

Way too PC to be funny.

What they are saying is true, albeit in a quaint sort of way.

The Aussies will never forgive you for winning (Americas Cup Anyone?).
Danes are just like the Irish except they work harder...
The Germans want to start the party after dinner and....
The Greeks want to start after breakfast, cos someone else is always paying...

I recall from my short time in the UK that they are ALL programmed to jump out of bed at 10.30am on a Saturday morning and start waxing the car. You could set your watch by them...

What people think of us Irish i will leave to somebody else.

I think the Thais come out on top.

[nigelandjan]

Nice to see us ENGLISH are called ENGLISH , not that poxy PC British or even more sterile PC European

[stroller]

The English are also British and European, that's a fact, not withstanding how the misfiring neurons in between your ears may define your understanding of what "PC" is.

I have to get myself a Kindle. And buy some of those books, and Slaps one too.
