Do you like the people of Britain?

Are we supposed to compose a couple hundred nation liking surveys now?

Why not include Northern Ireland'? It's part of Britain!

This is not my survey - I corrected it according to the qualifying statements of an anonymous survey. I think there are too many shades of grey, however.

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom (of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) but not Britain. It is however part of the British Iles as is the Republic of Ireland!

Brief explanation of terms:

* The "British Isles" is the archipelago to the north-east of the European mainland, just across from France, Belgium and Holland. It includes the islands of Great Britain (the largest single landmass in the archipelago), Ireland, the Hebrides and the Orkney/Shetland islands. It is a geographical, not political term.

* Great Britain contains three historic political entities: The nations of England and Scotland and the principality of Wales. These were united into the "United Kingdom of Great Britain" by the Act of Union in 1707 (Wales having previously been placed under English rule by the Statute of Rhuddlan in 1284).

* Ireland had previously been joined to the existing United Kingdom by the Act of Union of 1801, but in 1919 the island was partitioned into the new, independent, Republic of Ireland ("Eire") and the six counties of Ulster that remained with the UK.

* The current political name, "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" describes the main geographical areas that are part of the union.

This has been a public service announcement. Thank you for reading. Normal service will now be resumed

I know we have a Yob culture, but it is only a minority. The average Brit is genuinely decent.

Why wouldn't I? Is there something I don't know? From what I know about their culture, land, habits, and lifestyle I think they're pretty cool -blending the past with the present.

Half and half, although I am british, its impossible to like everyone you meet.

Most of the ones I know are escapees.

What a racist survey this should have been offensive!

Racist?? how can this be racist?

English young people (up to 30, 35) are not very popular in The Netherlands, because of their behaviour when they've been drinking too much.
They don't realize that the beer here is stronger than at home and that the bars don't close at 11 like they do back in England. So they get piss drunk very early at night and then they start mooning. Whenever you see people mooning here you can be 100% sure they're English. In no other country in Europe people moon, just in England. Fudging wankers.

I don't know most of them.

Mooning. Is that a form of howling? Fascinating.

I fear my explanation was somewhat briefer but I cannot fault your accuracy!

Well as I see it hating british people is no different than hating black people.

Ya, the easy going side, just like Americans, I really can't stand the stuck up pieces of crap anywhere I go.

Blacks are a different race, the English not.

I like myself

Yes. I have personally met all of them, and found each and every one to be just lovely.
What an absurd question.

Yes. I am predominantly of British ancestry, most of my grandparents were born there. I was mistaken for English, a couple of days ago, by and Australian tourist I was talking to in a bar. I think he was heavily influenced by my appearance. I look VERY English.

George Harrison bought Bhaktivedanta Manor for the Hare Krishnas & I like that!

I've met a lot of wankey Brits in Hong Kong and yet our best friends here are also British. Perhaps there's just a lot of FILTH here (Failed In London, Try Hong Kong). There are quite a few Brits that have very little education and yet think they know everything. My husbands last company contained a whole clique of them--we nicknamed them the "British Mafia".

Anyway, there are some good Brits and there are some wankers--same as any other group.

So what does a VERY English person look like?!

I'm British!!!

You all like me, don't ya?

I guess he has a stiff upperlip!

Sure, why not?

In this case, sort of a cross between Nicholas Lyndhurst and Ian Curtis.

I can't speak for everyone else, but I like you.

I am Welsh and proud of it. Most Welsh people are very nice and welcoming
