Tally Ho Old Chap! What do people think about your country?

I'm from the UK, so people think we're one of two things: Tea sipping Downton Abbey types or rhyming slang chimney sweeps ready to burst into song at a moments notice. There's really no middle ground that I've seen. So what stereotypes are there about your country and does it annoy you when people think the way they do?

Good to know. There are a lot of stereotypes and myths about Indians. Some people think we always keep on bobing our heads. There is this funny Indian English accent which isn't their in everyone. Take care

I have heard this stereotype before. My father is from Bangalore so he even still gets a lot of racism directed at him.

I'm from the UK too. I think people are looking down on us because we've left the EU. What do you think?

I think so, but then Americans voted for Trump so it won't be the craziest thing a nation did. I'm a remainer but it is what it is and legally binding and all that.

@Lindalahughes Yes. What is done is done and what will be will be.

There will always be those who judge other people and countries. Unfortunately it happens everywhere. I try to hold my judgement if I don't know all of the facts.
