английские стереотипы

стереотипы такие:
Шотландцы - жадные
Ирландцы - наивные и глупые
Валлийцы - тоже глупые, часто уровня village fool, но стойки и выносливые.


Вот самый классический английский анекдот:

Three builders — English, Scottish and Irish — are all working at the top of a high-rise building. They have their lunch break and start to eat their sandwiches. The Englishman says: “Ham again! I’m sick of ham. If I have ham again tomorrow I’ll throw myself off this building.” The Scotsman says: “Spam again! I’m sick of spam. If I have spam again tomorrow I’ll throw myself of this building.” The Irishman says: “Jam again! I’m sick of jam. If I have jam again tomorrow I’ll throw myself of this building.”

The next day comes and predictably they all have the same sandwiches and throw themselves off the building. At the joint funerals, their widows are consoling each other and the English widow says: “I can’t understand my George. If he had said something I would have changed his sandwich.” The Scottish widow says: “I can’t understand my Andrew. If he had said something I would have changed his sandwich” and the Irish widow says: “I can’t understand my Patrick. He used to make his own sandwiches.”


Есть и дополнительные стереотипные характеристики британцев:
Шотландцы пьют много виски, едят хаггис, носят килты и играют на волынке.
Ирландцы пьют гиннес (или виски), а потом бьют друг другу морду.
Валлийцы пасут овец и с ними же занимаются сексом.

А, забыл: ирландцы ещё и очень наивны в сексе. Вот пример:

An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman were sitting in a bar, drinking, and discussing how stupid their wives were.
The Englishman says, "I tell you, my wife is so stupid. Last week she went to the supermarket and bought £250 worth of meat because it was on sale, and we don't even have a fridge to keep it in."
The Scotsman agrees that she sounds pretty thick, but says his wife is thicker. "Just last week, she went out and spent £17,000 on a new car," he laments, "and she doesn't even know how to drive!"
The Irishman nods sagely, and agrees that these two woman sound like they both walked through the stupid forest and got hit by every branch. However, he still thinks his wife is dumber. "Ah, it kills me every toime oi tink of it," he chuckles. "Moy woife just left to go on a holiday in Greece. Oy watched her packing her bag, and she must have put about 100 condoms in there. And she doesn't even have a penis!"
