Non English people, your views?

Question

What is your honest and first thought that comes into your head view on:-

English men

English Women

England as a country.

Facinated to hear an international view on this. Cheers

Answer 1

English men: Depends, when I was in the North, I found them aggressive, untrustworthy, violent and ignorant, not all of them, but in general I felt uneasy. When I was in London and Brighton, they are some of the nicest guys you'll meet, again not all, but in general I felt like I could happily live there. They were funny, relaxed and well informed.



English women: As above



England as a country: Loved the South and West Country. The North has a big chip on it's shoulder and something macho to prove, to me it all seems to be about being hard and top dog and trying to intimidate people for a laugh, except it's not a laugh because half the time if they fail, they will actually kick your head in 'for a laugh'.



Northerners who are pissed off with this appraisal and who feel it doesn't apply to you, well then it doesn't apply to you, but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

Answer 2

OK I'm English so I should not answer your question ,but I do not think to many are even aware of the existence of the greatest Englishman of all time is because he lived so long ago.but because without him there would not even be an England the title greatest has to go to Alfred the Great.otherwise we would all be living in Daneland now for when his West Saxons fought Guthrums Danes in May 878 he was fighting for not only Wessex but Englands very existence As for the worst, England's history in Ireland is as terrible as it can be,They took there land impoverished the ppl and when the famine came did almost nothing at all to help ,so I guess I would have to go with Cromwell ,Interesting how high Churchill's stock is in many ppls eyes,but after the war many Russian refugees living in the UK were sent back to Stalin's soviet union to face torture and death even though the fate of these ppl was known ,I think it was to do with an agreement signed in Yalta

Answer 3

When I think of people who are English, those from England, I see a people with a deep history; a history many of them fail to see themselves at times. I see people who are just like everyone else in the world. They have their good apples and their bad apples. However, stereotypically, when i think of English men, I see a pasty fellow with bad teeth and a snooty accent. Like I said, thats stereotypical and not true for most. When I think of English women, I see beautiful milky white skin, straight hair, and, unfortunately, bad teeth. Of course, that is not true for most. England as a country has a history that they should be ashamed of and proud of at the same time. There have been injustices conducted by their country as well as being just. I believe England is losing their English identity though. Those who choose to live in England should have a desire to absorb the English culture instead of demanding that the English honor their foreign cultures. However, we can agree to disagree with that statement. Overall, England is a great country with great people with a strong and deep history that should be cherished.



Cheers!

Answer 4

I am an American who is in love with England. I am attempting to move to London, as my guitar player is there right now performing in a show band in the threatre district. I love the English, and have always been in love with the heritage and monarchy. Wish I could just hop a plane and rush over, but as the USA, Great Britian has many laws about visas and working in your country. I would trade anyone who would would switch with me for a home if they would like to hang out in Los Angeles!



I love the English, and am Scottish by heratage. I wish I could go back again, as it has been a year since y last visit.I think that te English have more on the bal when it comes to crime and punishment.

Answer 5

That depends. If you mean British citizens, that's a seriously diverse group of people! But if you mean English people of English ancestry, then I would have to say TALL! They're bigger than Cherokee people as a whole, but more rectangular in build. Lighter skinned as well.



They do seem to be a bit more fearful of other cultures than those of us in the US are. Multiculturalism doesn't seem to work as well there as it does here, either--probably due to a difference in worldview and the existence of the British Empire. I'm sure things will change in time though ;)



One REALLY good thing I forgot---chips with curry sauce!!!!! Mmmm
