Well I am English but I'll give it a go! I think football hooligans are a wee bit unpopular (!), as are stag/hen (batchelor) parties and 18-30 holiday types. The rest of Europe must think we're a bunch of alcoholic thugs. And we really know how to bear a grudge. I'm sure all the other countries in Europe don't still go on and on about WWII to the Germans. They really hate that. Some people even still go on about Waterloo to the French and that was over 100 years ago!

I dare anyone who isn't English to answer this! I'm with nitantro about the football hooligans. And also how English people refuse to learn the language when they go abroad (even when they go to live) and think that tlking slowly, loudly and gesticulating wildly means anyone who doesn't understand must be a complete moron. I think we're also quite xenophobic as a nation. There's a hardcore of very vocal PC obsessives, but they seem to have caused resentment that has done more to fuel racism than negate it- people here love to boast about how non-PC they are. I hate the way "asylum seeker" has become an insult, and our love of the phrase "I'm not racist but.." I hate our stupidity about religion (I once heard someone claim that a family of Sikh's living near me were members of Al-quieda!) I also have issues with our benefits system- to a certain extent I'm all for the welfare state, but it really annoys me that teenage girls are getting pregnant ON PURPOSE because its a good way to secure extra benefits and a council house. And then theysmoke through the pregnancy to make sure the foetus is smaller and the birth less painful. It also annoys me how much crap we eat and that we seem to think its perfectly OK to live off microwave ready meals and feed our kids turkey twizzlers (exactly where on a turkey's body is a "twizzler" anyway?) The crap I see parents in supermarkets fill their trolleys with pretty much amounts to child abuse. And I hate how we can't seem to drink alcohol without getting off with six strangers, getting in a fight and puking in a shop doorway.

I think our excessive political correctness is REALLY annoying! And also general toffery some people seem to have, it's pathetic!

they're freakin'dainty and perfect. It annoys me XD

Try living here for a few years.... Middle lane hoggers, binge drinkers/slappers, CRAZY ABSOLUTLEY ABSURD Political Correctness gone madness! ( In a place called Bradford, I heard that the local council banned the use of black pens in their offices due to the ammount of Asians within that community! ) stupid ass council workers taking our tax money to come up with that is pathetic! As a nation we arent very good at learning other languages. CHAVS! ARRRRGH we hate them!

they don't annoy me at all---they amuse me. and also just think of the great literature and present day greeat comedy to come from the british isles, not to mention great irish poets, i could go on and on. signed--anglophile---

hmmm :- ... I'm enlgish... moved to America but I still don't have an American accent. I don't really want to either... umm... I love football so I can't say anything... maybe some of our foods. Their a bit fatty... heh. Not sure. This was just me having fun :D Hope I helped though I probably didn't

I've been to England several times in the past and all of the English people that I've met were very nice and had good manners. There was one person I met who seemed a bit arrogant and who spoke as if he was intellectually superior, but besides this I believe that English people are friendly.

Our pathetic obsession with alcohol. WHY?? Its not fun to feel like your head is being compressed, feeling dizzy and having a headache and chucking up. The reason is we have little culture and are plain bored! In 50 years there will be an epidemic of deaths due to liver problems, and people shouting in the streets at night are so annoying. Having a beer watching telly is ok or with a meal or even drunk at home is better than being a hooligan!
