I am not sure how scientific this research is, but according to this prejudice map, the English are known for:
Fair play
Aristocratic kitchens
Extremely unclean
Rarely complaining
Ok, an argument can be made is support of about three of those. However, I’m sure most English people would definitely disagree that they are “extremely unclean.” Ok, maybe a good percentage have bad teeth. But in my 9 months of being here, I have never had to hold my nose when riding up close and personal with fellow commuters on the underground or rail. Plus most of the homes I’ve entered have been immaculate.
