its good to know that the british national stereotype is alive and kicking
we like warm beer, it rains ALL the time, when it isnt raining its foggy, we talk like the queen unless we are cockneys and our policemen are helpful, never carry guns and our currancy is pounds shillings and pence
but johnnyroundboy is correct about one thing
there is a north south divide in britain............. "its grim up north"
he lives in yorkshire where they dont have central heating (or electricity) the men wear cloth caps, keep racing pidgeons, and train whippets
goodness alone knows why yorkshiremen carry ferrets in their trouser pockets, they have sharp teeth :
you'd think after 2500 years theyed have understood that ferrets are hunting carnivores and dont like being pets
