Nothing wrong with the Scots...but add booze and stand a safe distance. Jeckell and Hyde stuff.
I still don't get the transformation. |

Country: | I think a lot of British are "Jolly Good Fellows!"
In many ways, their cheery upbeat way can still remind you of Dickens or something.

Country:  | To be honest, one of the things that does annoy me about being British is the way we are represented. Every time I seem to catch a British character on some terminally unfunny American sitcom they always talk in the bizarre tone as if they were a 1930's aristocrat. Needless to say that I've never heard used here! Trivial perhaps, but what is more serious is our control freak government, where everything is being taxed under the 'green' mantra, activities are being restricted by the PC brigade and an electoral system that just leaves me feeling completely alienated. On the other hand, we do seem a pretty tolerant people where you don't get the racial or social problems that occur in certain other countries, a really interesting history and some fairly decent TV! | |
