I have heard these, whether or not I agree,
1. Americans...loud, brash, uncultured, poorly educated.
2. Brit...pompous, snooty, dull, love their gardens.
3. Irish...temperamental, like to drink, frugal. ( Heard that about the Scots, too ).
Oh dear, I'm an American with a British/Irish/Scottish ancestry. ( laughing)
