The British are pretty much the Americans of Europe. What America is to the world, Britain is to Europe. Douchy little island safe from the rest of the world, only one marginally pesky neighbor to deal with (Ireland/Meixco). yea we have some rivals (germany/russia), but at least we are better than the f**k commies (france/china). Both with well entrenched ideas of the free market and a distrust of foreigners (despite actually being full of foreigners), the British are even the the fattest in Europe. We are kindred spirits, doomed to be the most obnoxious tourists wherever we travel. Plus, we both speak American.
In conclusion, the british are by far my favorite foreign bastards.
