Oh yeah, people think:
Scots are always blowing bagpipes by a windmill.
Irish people are gingers who are getting drunk and riverdancing.
English people are all posh and drink tea 24/7.

I'm in school right now, so I'm getting some responses.

Well although I do hate to say this,some sterotypes are true,the Irish certainly can drink. Its one thing we don't really mind being known for But Guiness is urgh.

And I bet most English people do like tea,but again who doesn't?

According to the Guinness Book of Records, Irish drink nearly twice as much tea then British people.

Anyway...I think most British people are okay

Oh and yes, I'm a Scot, and I'm not angry, hate whiskey, and have electricity. Just to clear that up.

LMAO.
Well, I'm tall, I don't have a pot of gold, I don't drink Guiness, I have no idea how to even hum the riverdance and I don't drink. Does that mean I'm not Irish?

It's a stereotype much like how everyone in the world thinks that Americans are all fat and love fast food (I absolutely hate fast food)
Lol Yeah I remember people saying that when I was in Florida, minus the bad teeth part lol.

The cockney stereotype is the other one I ran into too. I like America though generally they were really nice when I went over.

I'm Welsh and I can't sing and I hate rugby. I do hate England though so some stereotypes are true.

Haha yeah! Its ridiculously annoying. Although I do love potatoes but like who doesn't?
I've got to say you Irish do eat a lot of potatoes. Whenever I go visit my Dad or go to over peoples house it's rare not to see potatoes at the dinner table lol.

That's true actually. When I lived in Portugal everybody always went on about England, Ireland and Scotland, but when I said about Wales, people used to look at me blankly. They have never heard of it and most didn't believe me that Wales was the forth country that made up UK. lol.
