They do seem to have as higher percentage of dumb bastards than anywhere else though - i was on a plane home from vegas and was chatting with some fat american lady. When i told her i was from Derbyshire, she asked me if i knew the Herriott family from 'All Creatures Great and Small' (a bbc series in the 80's) i think the look i gave her told her i didnt! ;D ;D Had a similar experience whilst in a shopping mall in South Carolina, 'oh I love your accent, where are you from?' London, 'oh do you know Boy George' In retrospect I should have said yes, and used it as a passport to her knickers Another classic is, "England? Hey, do you know the Queen?" "...yes. In fact I stayed at Buckingham Palace just a few weeks back - she rents the spare rooms out if her friends want a posh bed for a change." Delivered with just the right amount of dead-pan, you get them asking how much it costs and whether they could too ;D

I think Eddie Izzard's take on America is better... can't be arsed to look for a video right now, but he's a lot more subtle about it - British humour, in fact! ;D Not that Al Murray isn't funny, mind

TIDES, WEREWOLVES & PERIODS." ;D I'll give you a quote from my English Professor in High School:"Great Britain, a wonderful place to visit on holiday BUT I wouldn't want to live there."

Check out this guy, he eventually gets to you British folk!!! ;D He was pretty funny, actually (Pastafarians ;D), but notice how quiet the laughs were when he was 'doing' us? That video proves one thing, if nothing else - no-one takes the piss out of the English better than the English do ;D (Though the sex bit was pretty good )
