I'm from Canada. I love Winter, hockey, and maple syrup. Big Grin I can pronounce "about" however, and I don't say eh TOO frequently. I eat a lot of Pizza Pizza, and enjoy Dudley Do-Right too. Yeah I'm pretty much a stereotype. xD

From California in the US... Let's see now...

Into football- No

Shopoholic kind of a girl who goes to the malls all the time- HELL no

Fat- No... i sometimes feel/think that i am but im healthy. Tongue

Lazy- NOOO (well, sometimes but mostly no Tongue . Definitely not the stereotypical kind of lazy, 24/7 lazy...)

Southern Accent- Uh no... But i can do one if i want, along with many other accents... o.o XD

Crazy about hollywood- Not at all. I dont know many actors/actresses. o.o Plus some of the 'gossip' that i hear on TV, Online, or people just talking about is ridiculous/stupid *rolls eyes*

Play Video Games all day and have no life- Nope, i dont play all day... i devise my time accordingly

Eats a bunch of junk food 24/7- EW! NO!

Crazy about Drugs, smoking, alcohol, and sex- Not at all. Find people's obsession about it/how its in the media all the time over here ANNOYING!! -.-"
Die-hard Patriot- Uh.. nah not really. I dont love my country but i dont hate it either. It has its pros and cons.

So... i am VERY far from the stereotype...

I <3 potatoes- yup I'm very Irish. I'm also pretty friendly and good with alcohol haha

I'm Northern Irish though which means I'm British too and I fit that stereotype pretty well too.

I like moaning, insulting my friends to show affection, queuing, feeling nostalgic about great we used to be and of course, like any true Brit, I will wear socks with sandals with pride!!

Has no image til he resizes his flaming squirrel lol!!

Bow down before the flaming squirrel army or prepare to face my flaming, furry fury!!!!!!

Going through a Googled list of English stereotypes:

Punctuality

Yes. I'm always on time for things, I hate being late, and I don't see why time-keeping is such a big issue for some people? Lateness isn't always under your control but consistent lateness is just annoying.

Bad teeth
Not really. Americans seem to obsess over white teeth and why I'll confess to not habitually cleaning my teeth twice a day, every day, my dentist says my teeth are fine. I've had two fillings in about ten years and broke a molar on a bit of Toblerone two Christmasses ago (the resulting root canal was hell), but that's about it.

Tea
No. Tea's over-rated. My (Irish) girlfriend loves it though, she's averaged seven or eight cups a week over the last couple of years.

Posh accent
Yes... not in an 'every American-made film set in London' way, but there's a hint of it there. I mumble my words and get tounge-tied a lot though.

Socks with sandals
I have done...

Fish and chips?
Yes please. Big Grin Though I would choose salmon and boiled potatoes over battered cod and chips.

Full English breakfast?
Yes yes yes Big Grin

I'm half English, half Kiwi and living in Australia, so I'm not even sure which stereotype I probably don't fit in to.

I don't ever drink tea, cream tea is a completely different matter (oh how I miss those) and you can't beat a good deep fried Mars bar every so often. Sarcastic... Well, I've been known to be on occasion. Smile Can't stand AFL, nor am I particularly a rugby or football fan.

My Australian friends know I still consider them convicts too.
