A typical Englishman is a man wearing a bowler hat and reading the Times Newspaper.

“Men wearing bowler hats, a pin striped suit, a newspaper under the arm and carrying a long unopen umbrella.”

“English people are quite reserved. I had to laugh when I went by

tube and saw everyone sitting and reading their

newspapers. ”

“Beer, honesty, bulldog-type, Royal Family,

cricket, the weather .”

(Dickie Bird-famous English cricket umpire)

“Patriotic people, some think we are snobs, but

we are just proud of our country and Queen. We

are very polite and patient, we are a pleasant nation.”

English are not good at learning foreign

languages.

Guess the stereotypes

Thank you!
