Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to catch a red double decker bus and go play a game of cricket, followed by afternoon tea, a bout of morris dancing, then home for some fish and chips and spotted dick with custard. Oh, I say, my monocle just fell into my mornign cup of tea.JayCluitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16972011198109066985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072729371563273515.post-49074599721923076052012-11-10T21:45:44.187+00:002012-11-10T21:45:44.187+00:00Thanks for the perspective from a Brit on how the ...Thanks for the perspective from a Brit on how the English as presented in this film. Did you know that we Americans actually have THREE stereotypes of the English? (Yes, a whole three!) One is the stiff upper lip, bowler wearing, umbrella carrying, suit wearing man. Another is the poor cockney street person (you can probably chalk that one up to My Fair Lady.) The third is the football hooligan (chalk that one up to the news). <br /><br />I'm sure these are all very accurate stereotypes even though as an American I do not own a house full of guns, have never been involved in a shootout, have never been involved in a high speed chase in a sports car, don't own a cowboy hat OR boots, and have never run down a beach in slow motion. :-)Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072729371563273515.post-11363212953759635762012-11-08T22:55:43.539+00:002012-11-08T22:55:43.539+00:00Yes, definitely.
