Wrong way round, they are much worse in groups
Black? That’s a new one for me. Tea with cream n sugar i know of but black? hmm interest what you learn with topics like this lol.
Deffinately not a true one.
Oh yes, I meant when there are no respected adults around. When I meet a group of about 5 english guys my age they spent all the time drinking and teaching me how to curse in english.
Btw, not a curse, but do you really say “He´s off his beatbox!” 
As can be seen here, the british don´t even seem to consider that there is other than black tea 
Black tea with cream n sugar is still black tea. Other tea would be fruit-tea, herb-tea, green-tea, spice-tea…
Have you seen the french yet? 
Perhaps I´ll add some prejudices about the germans next monday.
The thing about not liking guests very much is true (imho), especially if they just come around and don´t phone you beforehand (to “warn and ask for permission” g)
But meeting up in cafe or something isn´t strange, is it?

Bitb, I wasn’t creating a word, I was stating a fact, lol! Ofcourse the game was a joke.
Oh that’s not strange at all. I just heard that it’s custom to meet the guest away from home. Instead of the guest going straight to your house.
Maybe true, but you should cut us some slack…If there were 300 million of you and cut off from the world by two oceans you’d be the same way! 
This was a good idea for a thread, it kind of reminds me of chat. What country should i start with, hmmm 
, I might repeat what others said, but hey it must be true 
:
America- Self center, fat, the states all have stupid laws, i can say biscuit, sports(in my case Rock n Roll 
), sex and beer the American Dream 
This country needs more culture, even though thats all we have. I mean culture in which our country can’t make $$$ from 
(if that makes sense)
England- Tea and crumpets of course, rain and clouds, i think they created the English language yet no one can speak it right (sorry 
), civilized and nice, live in small homes?, and fish and chips for dinner.
Dutch- They must being doing something right over there, except making chocolate of course , who am i kidding i love it! Are clogs made from the Dutch?
Japan- Stores every where, nice people, lots of visitors, secret samurai killers 
, crazy tv. I heard they could show any type of nudity, but they can’t show pubic hair 
Australia- hot air, fosters, outback, lots of animals, the wiggles 
, the crocodile hunter, very hot, old fashion stoves to make your house even hotter(i think Atheist told me about that one)where does your toilet water go when you flush it? Clockwise or counter?
Spain-This country takes nap, i love the idea of that, they must be party animals, because before they siesta, they go fiesta! Big eaters, speak alot of Spanish with different accents (hey 
)
I dont know what else to label, there so many countries. Where is everyone from? Mainly English, Americans, Aussies, and Dutch? Where are my Chinese friends and Spanish friends
[/b]
oh i get what you mean. we just call that “tea” here as opposed to “black tea”
Americans- Obese, arrogant, fighting, McDonalds
English- wearing ‘macs’ 
heh heh, drinking tea, blonde hair,
Dutch- Crazy wooden shoes… are they clogs?
Australian- Twangy accent (I love it!), super sun tanned, surfing, no pot- all alcohol! Lots of partys and fun in the sun,
Chinese/Japanese- short, obsessed with anime
Canadian (I am canadian, but I do know some things people think about us) - Live in igloos, rednecks, weak military, raging moose and beaver, obsessed with hockey
I don’t believe in all of these steriotypes, I just know that they exist !
For all the Brits out there, this is what I want to know…
If you call cookies “biscuits,” then what do you call biscuits? Like in “gravy and biscuits?”
What’s “gravy and biscuits”?
chickfila.com/images/menu_plain_biscuit.jpg
that is a biscuit 
This is a COOKIE!
dmaconsumers.org/graphics/cookie.gif
Does that clear things up

good links charlottedreamer. I found Gravy Biscuits there!
Gravy biscuits are goood. Mmm. <— me licking lips
and Cookies are usually sweet and ate as a dessert or snack. They are baked flat and almost always contain sugar.
Biscuits are more had to spell that say. 
but they are ate with dinner and usually “hearty” and rarely sweet. Biscuits are baked bread and mostly enjoyed warm. (although warm cookies are great too. )
This is really funny because I just returned home from a trip to Holland, Belgium, and France.
As an American who has visited these countries, here is my opinion.
Canadians:
Open minded
Austere
Slightly inarticulate, but they make up for it in joviality
Britons:
Feigned arrogance (to a slightly satirical degree)
Sexually repressed
Constantly preoccupied.
Witty
Dutch:
Straightforward
Subtle
Respectful
Bad drivers (thank god most of them are on bikes)
Belgians:
Amazing chocolate…I’m sorry Dutch, but I think they got you beat here.
French:
Very polite ( , seriously!)
When they aren’t dining/smoking, they’re in a hurry.
Great cooks
Smokers
Very Animated
Self - indulgent
Americans:
Unrivaled intelligence only met by unrivaled ignorance
Severely insecure
Crass, yet very accomodating to tourists/foreigners
Relaxed
Overweight
Funny
Try too hard to be funny (try to make every conversation sitcom worthy)
Irish (my heritage/granfalloon):
Hmmm… The only group that isn’t bothered by stereotypes.
“The Italians may have the best food, Germans have the best beer, and the French may be the romantics; but no one eats, drinks, and f—s like a Mick!”
Please add your comments, maybe I got the wrong impression in my travels.
Good Picture DreamAddict , I bet the biscuits are really good in your state
I forgot to label Canadians
Im not sure what to say: they actually seem HAPPY , pale, kinda of slow, very crazy, a little out of date.
I want gravy and biscuits now
Ok, ok, you got me. Short, smart, obsessed with anime. Also with technology. I really do want to live in Japan. Man that have good stuff. Ever watched the anime “Naruto”? It’s perfect. You know, if you watch the Simpsons, that’s pretty accurate about America in general…
And about them Irish… aren’t they supposed to have bars every other building?
Oh yeah, I’ve associated Europe with good food.
FRENCH WOMEN!!! 
Anyways…
ieeeeeuuwwww!!! what’s that, biscuits and gravy?? looks hideous! typical american food i see
actually the dutch aren’t known for their chocololate, at least i was surprised when i heard it, yes, belgians make way better chocolate.
clogs=wooden shoes and you’d be surprised how comfortable they are, i wear them everyday … NOT! 
bad drivers? i wonder where you’ve been? in general we behave very well on the road, especially when you get fined if you go over the speed limit by 2 km an hour. They have those flash boxes on the high way and if they flash you have to pay. Everybody hates them.
what, and you don’t think that when you are on a bike you can’t be a bad driver? also, you haven’t been in morocco then, wow, they think the white line on the street is to help you center your car so they will drive right on it, they will honk when they want to take over. (look look here i come! go away!) and there is a speed limit somewhere but nobody seems to know it. Ppl actually have flashy tail lights that flash on and of when they brake so ppl see they stop. real horror to drive there. (thank god i didn’t have to drive but as a passenger it was even worse)
ok everybody forgot the dutch cheese. I’m a cheese addict. Dutch cheese is so good! Especially the organic one.
And liquorice anybody (whatever you write that?) actually i don’t eat it that much but it something you can only find in holland.
french know what good food is!
americans: so paranoid about alcohol. If you want to drink a beer somewhere you have to carry it in a paper bag so nobody will see you have alcohol with you (like that bag doesn’t scream: look! he has some alcohol in here!)
Mind you, i don’t drink but i find that attitude so paranoid.
what i like about americans is their openess. they will compliment you on how you look if you look out of the ordinary. In holland ppl everything out of the ordinary is generally not approved of. a dutch proverb: act normal, then you are crazy enough already. (doe maar gewoon, dan ben je al gek genoeg).
the stereotype of americans in holland is: Fat, wear big flowery outfits, big photocamera dangling from their big belly, talk loud, only eat hamburgers. Mind you, that is the stereotype in general, not ‘my’ stereotype.
(like general stereotype of the dutch is: live in windmills, wear wooden shoes, ride bikes, smoke pot)
in general i think americans are badly dressed. If i see what ppl wear in the audience of a talkshow they air here (we have a lot of them ranging from ophra to dr phil to jenny jones to jerry springer) - in general they look hideous. And they wear glasses, i don’t know, but i just have to laugh when i see some of the frames.
ok i will stop now, save some for later
lol now there’s a steriotype - americans and nasty food lol
I think tea means with miulk and black tea means without.
I think a cook ie is called a biscuit here, and a biscuit (gravy - what where you thinking!) is caled a cake, by the look of the images.
Great, so what is a cake called? 
Flash boxes, you mean speed cameras. Yes, they are extreamly unpopular. They are placed in the most ridicleus and unexpected places. You can get charged for going just over 2 miles per hour!
Anyway, they usually put them at a place and then everyone who zooms of after them gets caught by another one hidden just over the hill. I think they get burned down sometimes. Or “vandalized” although that really isn’t what is happening to them - i.e. good removale of disturbance.
Given the chance, I’m sure the UK would break the speed limits. In Greece they go about 3 times their speed limits!!!
Do they have any room?
I didn’t realize that was one of our stereo-types!
When you do see people drinking out of a bag, it’s usually because it’s illegal to drink where ever they are at. For example, many cities have laws making it illegal to drink in public places… like on the street/sidewalk, in public parks, etc…
As for biscuits and gravy… don’t knock it 'till you try it. As for most of our food being disgusting… that’s probably true, as unfortunately our country pretty much lives on fast food and junk food.
