i came to the uk to work in b2b sales and am hearing that am not a typical sales guy and my body language is limited. what can that be?
is this related to the english hypocritical showing emotions that they dont feel and that english people like bulshiting each other that way, and i may be too real in my body language?

just because you're bitter about not getting a job, doesn't mean that you have the right to slag off the english. People who stereotype are ignorant and naive.
If someone says that your body language "is limited" then they're probably being polite about the fact that you have no charisma. Perhaps you should look at yourself a bit more before attacking and stereotyping others.

The specifics of British body language are a social code like any other nation mate, they are daft but it is important to observe them or people will be freaked out by you. Greetings, please and thankyou's are important as is small talk and polite distance. The Brits have a wider personal space rule than most other Europeans. As for showing fake emotion, I think that comes out in spoken language but people show how they really feel in a situation in body language. Get a good body language book to get to grips with what is being said non-verbally and cultural differences in varied countries.

Body language is not specific - but the interpretation of the body language is.
A simple example is the nodding of the head as an affirmative in the west but in certain Eastern European Countries such as Bulgaria, nodding the head would mean a negative response and shaking the head from side to side would be a positive.
Bullshitting is usually done vocally. If you understand the body language it is very rare for it to be misinterpreted.
I have to say that I do not like your attitude. And you have to realise that generally, selling is all about bullshitting - nothing to do with being hypocritical. Maybe they are trying to tell you that you are not a natural salesperson and that your body language is far too open!

As you seem to have had such limited success with us 'Bullsh*itting English', why don't you fu*ck-off back to the country you came from, and sell your sh*it there?
