I am so terribly sick of the stereotypes that widely exist here. We all have bad teeth from eating all the boiled food and drinking warm beer. Yet, if I even suggest that Americans suffer from obesity and mass consumption, they get terribly offended. Don't even start me on the attempts at imitating my accent! "Cheerio!" "Tea and crumpets!" "Wanker!" are among the most popular phrases. What's worse is that where I live in the states (Naples, FL) there's a fairly large English contingency, and those I've met are the most un-English people I've had the misfortune to encounter. And I've only been here five and a half years... I do like the comments Ron made. I may have to adopt that tack for myself... lol Oh, for crying out loud…
