Question

Do americans think that english people are posh and drink tea?

Answer 1

haha everyone thinks we drink tea

i was reading a travel guide and it said "the english drink even more tea than you think they do"

i dont think they think were posh, but for some reason in all their movies we are ALWAYS the evil geniuses!

and when you ask an american to do an english accent, they always do d**k van d**e, and thats not posh lol

Answer 2

it is in fact the truth

Answer 3

Posh?  No.  Drink tea?  So do Americans.

Speaking of Posh, please send that ugly anorexic freak home but leave David here.  

Answer 4

well no and yes cuz not every one in england are like posh spice and yes tea is your coffee over there

Answer 5

Some do.  But we've seen EastEnders so I guess we know that all English are not posh and drink tea.

Answer 6

I'm not sure Americans understand the meaning of posh & I dont think they have an equivalent to the word. The closest I can think of is rich, I dunno. Americans dont really have a class system. Posh is an English word, I suppose if you said it the other way round & asked. Do the English think that Americans are rich & drink coca cola? They would look at you funny!

Answer 7

i dont drink tea and i aint posh

Answer 8

no they think we are silly b******s for putting up with a **** of a government of a waste of acolytes.....

Answer 9

I have a British and American nationality, so although I live in England I have loadsa family in America and it really makes me laugh the impression each country has of the other because to me, they're not so different. The worst interpretation I've heard is from one of my American grandmas friends asking me if I spoke to the queen often, they seem to think that we all go down the pub with HRH and play dart or something ha :P

And of course there's English peoples usual criticisms of America everyones fat blah, blah...stupid really when both places are rich countries and therefore wil have fat people :s but yeah we all seem to have set ideas about other countries E.g the whole French eating Frogs fiasco :P

It's funny :) And, gives us a chance to prove eachother wrong.

See the movie Wildchild! That shows it!

Answer 10

i hope not becasue if they do they have no idea what its like over here

Answer 11

Their accents make them sound really rich and posh. I have heard that they love their tea,lol.

But generally, many Americans see British people as s****..

Answer 12

yes .....yes they do

Answer 13

Not sure - but when we go to their country they treat us like royalty is what I've heard.x
