British Stereotypes

What are the main qualities associated with the British and Ukrainians? Polite, adaptable, private, friendly, humorous, honest, generous, hard-working, emotional, reserved, intelligent, patient, proud, punctual

In their private everyday lives, the British don’t always follow traditions. There are many examples of typical British habits, which are not typical nowadays or even out of date. One of them is an image of "city gent" wearing bowler hats.

Food is another example. The British are believed to eat the traditional full English breakfast which consists of fried bacon and eggs, cereals, toast with jam or marmalade, and lots of tea.

The image of the British as a nation of tea-drinkers is another stereotype. Nowadays, more coffee is drunk during the day and 5 o’clock tea is not widely spread these days.

The British sense of humour is very specific. It is presented mostly in such British movies and other TV series as "Mister Bean" and "Black Adder". All of them present the stereotypes, which aren't often true.
