Tell me of stereotypes.

[burntcopper]

British in general or English only, either is welcome.

Non-UK citizens/dwellers only, please.

And remind me, are we supposed to be stereotyped as more or less polite than Canadians?

Ah, well, here, the phrase is 'Arrogant poms', and you're all famously difficult tourists. Prone to being rude, complaining a lot, and doing stupid things (eg, swimming when beaches are closed, getting too close to nice poisonous wildlife, getting lost in the bush).

So, er, I guess here you're considered less polite than Canadians, but for the most part Canadians don't HAVE a stereotype here (although my brother's trying to create one, having decided all Canadians are unco and socially awkward, on the basis of my knack for collecting unco and awkward Canadian friends).

Here being Australia, incidentally.
