American attitudes toward the British include:
+ Sophisticated, stuffy, educated, poetic, pretentious (e.g. Shakespeare, kings and queens, Churchill, James Bond)
+ Crude and streetwise, drunkards (Cockney)
+ Silly (Monty Python, Benny Hill, Johnny English)
+ Backward (for having kings and queens)
+ Bullies (Ireland, War of 1812, imperialism)
+ More socialistic politics than US
+ Best days behind you
+ Bad teeth
+ We drive one the right side of the road, you drive one the wrong side
+ Can't make a decent automobile at a reasonable price
I love the debates where the members of parliament confront the prime minister directly. Our current president could never stand up to cross-examination like Blair does. W would look like even more of an *** than he does in the ultra-controlled environment we have now.
And The Beatles changed all music that came afterward.

Your food sucks. Your weather sucks. Your attitude sucks. But at least you brush your teeth and bathe, which puts you ahead of the French. But seriously, as Europeans go, I'd have to say you're the best of the bunch. We've been side by side through a lot since we kicked your royal butts back in 76. I shudder to think where the world would be without the Americans and Brits fighting for the ideals of democracy and the dignity of every human. But why do you still have that goofy royal family? What a waste of money.

What's this supposed to mean? Many of us are decended from Brits. Our culture is heavily British. We speak the same language (we mostly the same). We have been allies for 100 years.
England is seen in decline, more impotent then in the past. British soccer fans are scary. Your food is bland and boring. Your culture is to be admired in many ways. Your people are varied and interesting.
Our women find your men exotic and sexy.

Your island is depressing, but so is Seattle. You need more sunshine and a more passionate sense of humor. Proper Brits are too uptight. Cockney brit are all very bawdy, which is most definitely not the same as passionate. All the same, the way you pronounce your words is very sexy.

Some love British people, my friend wants to move across the pond, and loves your accents. She posted the same question on yahoo answers UK and they were really mean to her. Even calling her a monkey. So to answer the question we like you.

Well I wish I could say I know enough about British men, but as a group I think you're all smashing!

British accents are hot, and you just can't stay mad at someone with one. This weekend i got into a car accident with a British family it was completely their fault, but we sat and talked for like 30 mins cause they were so delightful and i just can't stay mad at them.
