Ah, go crawl down a coal mine.
Can I ask the provenance of the survey - who was asked these questions/clichés? Where was it published?
Ah, go water your pansies!
I can’t - you bastards closed them all!
Looks more like English than British.
Anyhoo, no mention of the national dish - Chicken Tikka Maslala - how come?
And the art of noble* looserhood cite: Scott of the Antarctic
Enola We don’t hate the Irish. It’s some Irish hate some other Irish. And as for hating the French, who doesn’t? The Prime Minister is Catholic and what on Earth gave you the idea we hate Hindus 
*aka stupid/incompetant
Would be interesting to see - i was wondering whether it was a “Which out of these things…” style survey or an open question.
Wow! its turning into NADS!
and as Angua says, I was indeed serious about Fish and Chips.
Just another shitty survey that reinforces utterly outdated stereotypes. I suppose the survey also states we all talk in either cockerney rhyming slang or with posh home counties accents too. Tha knows.
Well, let’s face it, most of the Americans are probably still asleep, and our own little playpen i broken, so we’re running wild over here! 
Enola Straight, I hope you were joking. There may be the odd grain of ancient historical truth in your bollocks assertions, but you’ve missed the mark by a long chalk (perhaps if you’d been Gay you would have been on target, boom boom).
There was quite a bit of anti-Irish animosity during the 1950s and up until the Troubles when bombs were going off in London, but it seems that’s largely over. Being Irish appears to be rather trendy in the UK now.
Sigh. I don’t. This one’s kinda true though, although I’d say it’s more of a love/hate thing - though personally I think some of the anti-French sentiment is jealousy.
No, he isn’t; his wife is, his kids are, and he’s “Catholic-friendly”, attending mass occasionally and so on, but he’s Anglican. However, you are correct in there being very little anti-Catholicism outside of Northern Ireland.
We drink more tea that you lot on the big Island anyway so all you tea drinkers can be Irish if you want. You’ll have to work on being a functional alcoholic and pissing in your sink. Once these have been mastered you’re all set.
We should start a stealth campaign - see how many innocent threads we can hi-jack before they catch on.
Wily band of renegades that we are…
I realise my tremendously confusing post indicates that I’m correcting Enola Straight via the medium of chastising Small Clanger. I actually just wanted to correct the Blair Catholic thing, but got carried away.
Show’s over, move along now, nothing more to see here.
Cor Blimey, love a duck, apples and pears, etc.
Lots and lots and lots and lots.
Wow, thanks, I got that wrong! At least I didn’t thing he was a Hindu.
To beat up on Enola some more, where does the “Indian hating” idea from? The Germans I can understand (it’s still wrong*) but Indians?
just don’t mention the war*
**I’m joking, it seems to be necessary to point this out to some people.
I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it…
Which reminds me of a uniquely British treasure. . .
