I say 'ta' for thank you.
Brew up tea the proper way.
A slight northern accent from my maternal grandparents.
I use the term 'mobile' instead of 'cell' phone.
'Knickers' for underpants, 'bogroll' for toilet-paper.
Look from right to left before crossing the street.
Also, 'bloody hell', 'nutter', 'shag', 'f@g' or 'cig' for cigarette, 'dodgy', that 'lot' (group).
Still spell: programME, organiSe, coloUr, centRE, ploUGH; licenCe (noun) licenSe (verb); as well as other spellings.

Bad teeth, super white skin, very proper, lovers of tea, cool accents, everyone eats fish & chips and little finger sandwiches, Big Ben is a big deal, the only news people care about involves the royal family, everyone watches AbFab and Are You Being Served, nobody cares if you're ugly.

That all English people are great! Anyone I've ever met from England has always been very nice, it looks like a great country and I'd love to move there when I'm older

I love England, but the general stereotypes I have are:
That you all love your tea time!
It's ALWAYS raining!
And everyone loves football! (A.K.A. Soccer, to us non-UKer's.)
And, since I just watched the movie The Queen ... that your royal family is a bunch of snobs!

I know these are probably not true, but they are ones I have heard a lot.
- It rains there ALL the time.
- People are stodgy
- They have bad teeth there
