      Hi. This American wonders where someone from England would go for a similar video if they came to my country? I'm betting it would not be where I live. Everyone in my country is not like someone from New York, Los Angeles, etcetera. I'd be willing to bet those are the cities where an interview would be filmed.

      Angela Sedgwick We grow up thinking Americans are stupid lazy gun slingers
      You might have grown up thinking British people are posh stuck up and clever
      If we went to New York or LA it would actually disprove that stereotype of Americans
      And this guy in the video only went to london where people can be very much to the stereotype. I get what you're trying to say but my point is and was from the start, go somewhere that gives you actually something to learn, in other words, go somewhere that disproves the stereotype!

  • @AngS22

    I've watched several of these videos. I'm from the USA. We Americans likely see ourselves much the same as British. By the way, I have several wonderful friends from England; those friends all tell me that I'm quite cheeky. I can't wait to visit them. They've lived and worked in the states for a bit. Two are in the process of either moving back home, or getting resettled at home.

I could not understand too much the language on the north of Wales :), but they were still nice and humble people. I never had problems with the British people as well.

    I could see that bloke's head at the end, cogs whirring going "something other than you're black, something other than you're black!" Banter's difficult with first impressions and acquaintances, you need to expose personal weaknesses to each other first so they can be exploited really, safe in the comfort of friendship. Us and them, it's the difference between banter and insults. There's the in group and the out group, but there's also the out-out group. It's perfectly fine to take on national stereotypes of strangers, but not personal flaws (basically physical since it's all you've got to go on).
    As for pride and patriotism, I don't think the responses are particularly representative there. People might think as individuals they're amazing, but they don't tend to think that of the nation as a whole. I feel that, rather than better than everyone else, perhaps above it all is a better way of phrasing it. But then that's always betrayed by the pettiness that goes back to the "us and them" thing. Perfectly fine for us to denigrate ourselves, but if anyone else does we'll turn on you.

    I'm driving two young English gentlemen to the Philadelphia airport back in the 1980s. They are admiring the Pennsylvania countryside and commenting on how much it resembles their homeland. I infom them that many of the areas have English names do to the early English settlers. I add that the area has a lot of history. Without cracking a smile, the one young man says (somewhat sarcastically), "All 200 years." Cheeky!
    I was surprised that in this interview asking the British how they view themselves, no one mentioned the one thing in which they could have clearly boasted.....

    Been years since I lived in England but back then tea was like their crack. They were either drinking it, getting ready to go out and score some or wondering if they heard another family member putting a kettle on. And they though we Americans were animals because we used tea bags... But that was years ago, I've heard they now take their crack in bags. "Anyway I can get it Luv."

      I lived in England from '65-'67. Tea bags were not "always viewed as the best invention".
      "It was Tetley in 1953 that drove the introduction of tea bags in Britain, but other companies soon caught up. In the early 1960s, tea bags made up less than 3 per cent of the British market, but this has been growing steadily ever since."

    • @obesitytravels5793
      @obesitytravels5793 8 лет назад +1

      dimbulb23 tea bags were invented by the Americans in the 1800s. They were used frequently. During the war they were fazed out for the original tea leaves (because they could be reused several times so it helped with the rationing). It takes people a while to change but we all accept tea bags as the best thing since sliced bread!

      +Fighting Force You can't compare the Brits of WW2 to the Brits of today though....that was a fucking long time ago. And modern day Europeans have been wussified too.
      Also, are you trying to take credit for WW2?(in your last sentence) As it is believed by many historians that had the Germans went on with operation sea-loin instead of operation barbarossa, the brits would have been easily defeated. Germany was up against almost the entire world(German allies were either incompetent in case of Italy or too far away to be of any help in case of Japan). I respect and like Britain(you Brits are well respected here in Pakistan and Stephen Hawkins is one of my favorite scientists) But I get annoyed when you guys try to take credit for everything under the sun(no offence intended).

The British attacks against Germany were not going very well and so when we joined together we started beating them, not to mention the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan was the decisive factor for Japan to surrender.

      @@rachstone9491 cheaper house prices are always said by people from London,or other parts of England but they may want to mention at the same time, that the reason why people in London ALL get paid more than the rest of the country,
      if they don't They will get pushed out to the places your talking about cos that's where the council /cheapest housing is, very often substandard delapidated ,and then the only people who are beneficial from that is the people who own the land (Westminster)it's exactly what it is happening to the poorest people in Wales but it's just in a different type of landscape, the Gentrification=Urban Sprawl , that is why It's so cheap to live in parts of the Welsh (and though I don't know I Imagine it's pretty similar up in Scotland),It is always why the English in Southeast specifically countryside is a Jewel of the country, and parts of the South Wales Valleys are only just coming back from economic ruin,
      So all I'm saying house prices are always related to average wages of the particular area so actually the reasons for Some Welsh and Scottish housing being cheaper than Some parts of England is cos they are areas of lower economic development than other house prices correspond with income and tax band (not how nice is the house it's how nice is the area)

      The cheeky thing about Nandos is that it places itself a cut above fried chicken because it's branded as a Portuguese restaurant doing authentic grilled spicy chicken.

    I don't find any country to be superior to any other. Brits do have good things and some bads ones too as a whole. But after watching this video, one could summarizy it as "how perfect the british think they are, and how differently other countries perceive them".

    What I notice was that you leaned in to close for a comfortable public personal space of the British. So you see a lot of them, especially ladies leaning back. It might be ok in Spain and other more physically open nationalities.

    You went just to Kensington to get an impression of the British?! Absolutely, it should be in there but that's the very richest out of the UK's 650 boroughs. Those are not the global 1%, they're not the 1% of Britain, it's the 0. something %.

      You know, watching all the videos about what one country thinks of another, I had the same thought. We stereotype entire countries, but WITHIN those countries are many different cultures. I live in New Orleans, and have hardly anything in common with say, a person from Idaho LOL! COMPLETELY different way of life and speaking.

  • @ianwallace65

    I think this would have been a lot more incisive if you had asked people from different parts of the UK what they thought of each other. you could have asked English Northerners how they view Southerners, Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish for example. In the video, you asked middle class Londoner's how they viewed themselves rather than British people from other parts of the UK. You did the same with the Welsh. Why didn't you ask them what they thought of the English, Scots and Northern Irish? You may have got some interesting answers. They are all British after all. And the questions could have been a lot more creative....asking a million people what a Cheeky Nando's is isn't very inyeresting considering it's always the same answer! But you did help to reinforce the,American stereotype that,Americans know nothing about other countries. Anyway mate other than that...it wasn't 'alf bad😃
