gone a little off topic but has been hugely entertaining. Just to clarify:
Americans are vulgar
Brits are snobs
Argentinians are wanna be Europeans
Irish are thick
Scots are mean
Austrians are condescending
French are aloof
Russians are criminals
Australians are drunks
Spaniards are greasy
etc
Why is it that Italians are great lovers?
Infact, travelling to various countries I have found that most people are just doownright 'nice' an awful word but apt. Pleasant company, welcoming, friendly and easy to chat with as long as you avoid subjects like politics, religion, sexuality and economics.
