The queen has German ancestors....the Royal family also comes to Germany regularly on private holidays - and they love the country. Really nice people, met them personally and did a private tour for them.
But most of the population don't like Germans. On the radio, there are lots of jokes about German tourists and towels...the think German women have hairy armits because of a Nena video in the 80s. There are lots of old war II filmes on tv in the UK - never seen that many in my whole life then in the UK in 1 month - only having 4 channels.
French wine has a lot better reputation then German wine. German food is hardly known apart from Sauerkraut with fat meat and dumblings...although some of the best cooks in the world are German.
Most people would never go there on holiday - although I am sure most would enjoy if they went there. If I was British I would definitely come where...just for the many indoor swimming pools with Saunas (mixed..clothes not allowed) or the no-speedlimit

Ummmmmm
I'm thinking WW1 and WW2 didn't help Britain's love for Germany grow.

Good question. The war has been over for 61 years. The british need to grow up and get over it. German food and wine is very good, and the germans I have met are very good people. Germans, however, need to quit feeling so bad about WWII. In germany today, andyone who shows any bit of nationalism or patriotism is labeled a nazi. Very few people left living in germany had anything to do the holocaust. Its not your fault. You ran communism from your country. Be happy. You've got a great society.
By the way, the blitzkrieg had nothing to do with England. As for bombing the crap out of London, they knocked the stuffing out of Berlin. We're even.

Two world wars probably has something to do with it. Personally I think Germany is great, and I don't have a problem with the people.

No one likes the queen either so she doesn't matter in this. Its because of the wars but i think Germans are cool, nowadays its more of a joke.

Does it means German wanted to repeat the "Dark Age Germania invasion" during WWII? Wow, Churchill would be the second King Arthur and he was successful to defeat German attack.
King Arthur was not so lucky...

Um, maybe the German Blitzkrieg on London has something to do with it.
