But....I will say.....average Brits view Yanks by what they see on ‘telly’. I had to ‘put people in there place’ from time to time.....since the ‘Springer Show’ is shown there....and I’m from ‘The South’. ;-)
I found that a lot of Brits thought they knew all about America because they'd been watching our news, movies, and TV shows their whole lives. I had to correct more than a few Brits on their misconceptions of America while I was there.
But overall, I found them to be very hospitable people, who normally had high very affinity for our culture and our country.
The feeling was mutual.
