English people think that they should still own America.

They never did own America, so I doubt ANY think they SHOULD own America.

Too true

While this can be considered true, the 'chavs' themselves are made fun of, even by us. They are not numerous, though, even considered a rarity amongst the population.

Also, Scorp...check the rules at the beginning.

Well actually ACAMS, North America was once part of the British Empire.

Being Scottish, this should be a fair and unbiased judgement. =P

Something I think is a stereotype, is they do tend to talk about the Second World War and 1966 quite a lot. If they're from around then.
 
More stereotypes that I have heard.
 
Young adults tend to get drunk over the weekend and end up on CCTV
They get a Vauxhall Corsa for their first car and install a £6,000 stereo in the boot
They go on holiday and are disgraced when people do not speak English.

Which is why sometimes, I feel a desire to ride around various high-streets in a Jeep with a Minigun attached   :evilsmile:

@GF93: Hence, New England.

@Scorp: What part of England? I'm from Oxfordshire, so not many chavs. The same can't be said for Bucks, though.

First discovery of America: Your ancestors arrived from Europe. The only resistance was Native Americans. England owned part of America then, hence New England.

Yes, you were part of the empire once. And judging by your depiction of events, who was your history teacher in school, Mel Gibson?
And as for the part about us not getting anything Stateside, you're forgetting Canada and most of the Caribbean Islands.
