Unfortunatley - they are
Of course they're not. Anyone with a brain can see that Jade and her Chav are not typical

Spend time abroad - I work abroad, and we are coinsidering drunken louts, ignorant thugs looking for a fight and fish n chips.

Unfair - yes, but thats the way we are perceived in the world, and you have to work to prove you are not.

I work abrpad, spend over half the year in Germany and Italy, with a few weeks here and there in France, Spain and Malta

We are considered ignorant thugs around the world - except to Americans, and thats nothing to be proud of.

TV shows perpetuating the image of the thick little englander don't help - as for this being an internal british TV show, checked youtube lately ?

I'm sure that people realise there's a variety of people, wherever you go, whichever country. And obviously for shows like BB they’re going to choose entertaining people, different kinds of people, people who aren’t average. That’s a main reason why they have auditions! Surely people should recognise that!

Where? Are we talking about in the house? because there are a couple of other brits who are nothing like the Jade trio, so why would the others percieve the goodies, as typical brits?
No, not in the house necessarily. Unfortunately, Brits have a bad reputation abroad.

Well that's unfortunate. I'd have hoped people wouldn't tar everyone with the same brush..everybody's unique, I watch Jerry Springer, but at the same time, I don't see everyone in America as backward hillbillies ...
