I love the hoodies and chavs from the UK. They act as if they are tough and the biz but they are downright stupid. It's as if they have been living on benefits since their mother released them to the world.

Come on, everyone should know England's greatest contribution to the world is its comedy shows and comedians- Fawlty Towers, Black Books, Reeves and Mortimer, Monty Python, Eddie Izzard's stand-up, Ricky Gervais' stand-up, the Young Ones, Bottom, the New Statesman and of course the Office (BRITISH VERSION). The English language seems a paltry thing next to these titans.

Oh yeah, and 'Have I Got News for You' and 'Whose Line is it Anyway' (BRITISH VERSION).

Tthe Scottish-a strange, cantankerous breed, given to madness and depression. Good Celts.

The Welsh, generous, humourous bastards. Witty and down to earth. Pity more of them(and the Scots) don't travel.

I found your typical English blokes to be some of the best people on earth. Weather is feckin' terrible, in some places. Like horizontal snow on the Kinder Plateau, but some of the best crack in the world.

Ireland and GB/UK, more culture, humour and character than you can shake a stick at, also some of the quickest-tempered but forgiving and intelligent people I've met anywhere.

Sorry if this is a bit weird, it's late and I'm tired.

caring how one looks is both nobelesse and modern

however, the british empire was not built on such conceits.



we tend to leave that to the revolting natives and the women.

My father was from Edinburgh and emigrated to South Africa in his twenties. He would always complain of that "cold wind" in Scotland and never ever even expressed a wish to at least pay a flying visit.

In the 2ndWW his family in Scotland had to communicate with the Red Cross to find out if he was still in the land of the living. And then at the end of the war the SA authorities found an oversight that his leave had been shortchanged and in recompense offered a visit "home"for a lengthy period.

Instead he went to Italy where he had had a fun time during the war.

He was of modest background in Scotland, yet streets ahead of the typical South African in terms of common sense. South Africans have a pioneering spirit and are prey to all sorts of impractical ideas, rather like Americans.

He would recount stories of Scottish life, how newspapers would have no vendor, you could simply lay down the cash and take a paper. Nothing would be stolen. And how, if there were say an emergency in a crowded place such as fire in a cinema, there'd be a firmly disciplined exit.

Komerican-

How can you say that the British Isles had some well-known writers? Then, to add insult to injury, go on to use J.K. Rowling as the example?

Seriously, that's the best you can come up with? I'm an old fogey, so I'm surprised that you chose J.K.Rowling as your example of a British writer.

Try Oscar Wilde, Sean O'Casey, George Orwell, Evelyn Waugh, P. G. Wodehouse or Joseph Conrad (oldens but goodens). I'm no Lit major but those are good writers.

J.K. Rowling is perhaps good, I've never read her. She certainly makes some money if that is an indication of greatness. Is Rowling likely to win a Nobel Prize for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Farts?

Ireland alone has 4 Nobels for literature, the UK has 10-some well-known writers indeed.

Maybe someone can chime in with a few modern writers, I like Ian Banks/Ian M. Banks, bit of sci-fi never hurt anyone and the Scottish fella' that wrote trainspotting and Scum, about the corrupt cop (I think). Sorry, I'm terrible with names.
