- We english do not: know the queen or david beckham, everyone does not drink tea (though I do) and we don't have posh accents. 
- We have chavs D= They are the worst people in the world... x-x
- The three biggest cities are Manchester (WOO!! I am from here), London (capital city - I may be visiting here soon) and Birmingham (where my cousins are from)
- We have annoying TV presenters such as Philip Scofield and Steven Mulhern.
- We are seriously lazy when it comes to learning languages.. D=
I did have more.. I'll add it on later 
It's dead interesting learning about everyones country!

Haha, all SO true!
I'M FROM MANCHESTER!
Anyway...
People sometimes think we all talk dead posh and drink tea at 3pm
(like AmyLou said!) but we don't
Be funny if we did! According to my friends I have a very posh accent X3 But that's because I live in a little town called Leigh and most people talk like this:
"Y'allreet mate, goin' dun shops fer abit"
Okay...maybe not THAT extreme, but some people do!!! (I don't
and my friends laugh at me for it and call me very posh XD ... I also lurrrve tea!)
And I agree AmyLou D: We have a LOT of chavs round here
Especially at my school! I'm in Sixth Form now... it's sorta the two year course you do before Uni, do you have that in other countries? ^_^ We get to wear our own clothes and most people who used to be big chavs have grown out of that stage now XD
I guess Fish 'n' Chips would be proper English food
lol! Mmm...
And omg yes, we are so lazy with languages O.o I learnt French at school for four years but they hardly taught us ANYTHING, just silly phrases like "I helped my dad wash the car" I mean, seriously, WHEN will I EVER use that when I go to France!? XD
I can't think of anything else right now
This is a really cool thread! Very interesting! ^_^
