British Stereotypes

British Stereotypes

My mother was from Sutherland in the far north of Scotland. My father is from South Yorkshire.

BUT….. I deny that I am either a Wildling or that I am Fighty!

If you want to argue about that, you can meet me on the moors at noon.
Bring your own weapon.

I’m one of those arrogant wankers from London, of course! 🙂

  So, when I come “up” to the city and walk down the street, smiling and saying, “Good morning!” to everyone, you are one of the indigenous tribe who look at me as if I am crazy.

I come from the bit marked ‘hippies’, and there’s a lot of truth in that… 😉

  You should take a trip into Bristol to a gig by my grandson’s hippy(?) band, A Doubtful Sound.

Damn. I’ve spent a whole blog writing about this kind of stuff, and somebody cracks it with one map! (I’m one of those arrogant Londoners, obviously)

This map is fun. I wonder if I am a Central European stereotype and what is it.

Interesting that the Aran Islands are known for Father Ted. The annual Ted Fest is in a few weeks. It is quite an event here for sure, but surprised to see it having such the reputation. 🙂 This whole map quite funny!

  There’s so much similarity between the west of Ireland and the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. Take a look at Lilian Beckwith’s books and my ratings/reviews on Goodreads
