The biggest misconception is the accent for me, every time a British is portrayed it's used with that posh British accent. Not gonna lie but nobody talks how British citizens are portrayed.
I dont know who this woman is but I do not think she represents the average British person very well at least with what she said...Especially not Londoners.
Katie Hopkins is a stupid, stuck-up, self-centered female dog who doesn't deserve to be a British citizen. If any of you Americans don't know who Katie Hopkins is, look up "katie hopkins quotes" on Google, and read them on Twitter. You'll probably think the same as me.
Adrian Crosby Katie Hopkins is alright. She says things which most brits are afraid to say because of political correctness. Real men like Katie Hopkins.
+Cheese Slice Haha I totally agree, I'm English and I swear to god she was making my blood boil with how stuck up and devoid of personality this woman was...she is not a good representation believe me.
Council House And Violence. Basically, it's someone who doesn't have a working family and is living off the state, in a state home and generally causes trouble with about anyone they come by.
Try to get a person from each of the following, Northern England, Southern England, London, Glasgow/Edinburgh, Belfast and Wales. You will get a fairly decent representation of Brits, although not all of us.
Its true that we may not blurt out compliments to strangers or just go around hugging people, but that doesn't mean to say we aren't nice. From my experience, British people are nice, we just don't have this urge to show it to everyone - we do say hi as we pass people and will gladly hold open doors for strangers and be kind - that's not to say what American's do is bad, its just.. unusual. And, for a person like me who is shy and finds it hard to communicate with new people in a social gathering, I have the perspective that most people in the UK are like me - at least when it comes to speaking to a stranger. It just doesn't come naturally to want to speak to someone you don't know. I mean, what do you even talk about? Also, for a person like me, if an American did say hi and gave me a hug when first meeting me, its not to say I wouldn't be nice, but they would then come off as too nice and that would make me feel uncomfortable. I think we British just like to have some personal space when it comes to being around new people - like, being in a full train, we would try our best to keep off each other, you don't want to be in a strangers hair, literally.
Alyssa Cranmer Well while your looking that up you might also want to see the New Zealand/Australian version called The GC. which follows the lives of 11 young Maori as they live, work and party on the Gold Coast of Australia. Then there is also an actual Australian version called The Shire.
This woman is totally unrepresentative of British people she represents London not Britain... To put it in perspective imagine if we in the UK had a similar show with a woman from Manhattan, New York representing the whole of the US....Americans need to understand that there is FAR more to the UK than London !
Isn't it funny how spazzy everyone looks in contrast to Caroline whenever she's interviewed? All American reporters look like yelling goofballs. Take a note from Caroline, dial it back a little, guys. (coming from an American).
To be honest I thought a chav was someone that lived off benefits, has a lot of children, wears a matching adidas track suit and lives on a council estate
These Q&As are getting too guest orientated; I thought that's what the interview videos are for! I miss the Q&As where we get to know more about Bree, Brett, and Sam! More of those funny ones please!
they should interview someone from glasgow in scotland instead, they're some of the friendliest and most down to earth people you could ever meet :) strangers always talk to each other in scotland and have a laugh, in the north of england too, but it's unheard of in the midlands and the south of england.
What? I moved to the UK a year ago. And I am just getting used to people being nice and sweet to complete strangers on the street. Telling everyone 'have a nice day' and stuff. O_O What? Am I in the wrong dimension or something?
Nah, it just depends on your openness and friendliness in my opinion, I've lived here all my life and people keep to themselves a lot but are generally very friendly!
I really think it depends on where you are in England. Caroline is from London, everyone is busy there, they keep to themselves and they most certainly wouldn't give a second glance if they were to knock you whilst passing in the street.
I do think people are more reserved here, but are more likely to smile, nod and say good morning than have a full blown conversation. You're more likely to get interaction in villages and towns than in cities. When I went to America shop assistants were crazy nice, to the point it was annoying and I wanted them to bugger off. There's being nice and polite and then there's just getting in the way despite good intentions haha
I'm from London and this is not how most people are here! She is not an accurate representation of Brits anywhere. You should also try talking to people who live in the North of England, or the West or in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
im a brit and Im always really shocked when someone compliments me or even talks to me out of the blue (which isn't often) so yeah, I agree with the 'swinging round a punching them in the face' thing. haha
*lmao, this chick again!* *Time to read all the delicious hate comments!* Could you guys have her on more often - I love everyone's reactions to the things she says - it's hilarious!
Feel sorry that America has to suffer with the British annoyances like piers Morgan and this women, they are not what all of us Brits are like, there both from London which is very different and unfriendly compared to the rest Britain!
i am a Brit living in America and I have been flattered here more times than I care to recall, the trouble is, more often than not it is followed by a request for money - I have become so jaded by this that if someone tells me I'm beautiful I ask them how much it's going to cost me.
As a brit I have to say there are many brits who are nothing like this one and aren't chavs either, many of us are just normal people and for all you Americans, we don't all have that kind of posh accent, sorry just felt like commenting!
As a foreigner I always feel that the nice comments one gets in America is only of superficial value. It' just a figure of speech. As a foreigner one feels a little bit under attack when e.g. in an elevator Americans say "how are you today" to a complete stranger. Would not fly over here in Europe, and you would be looked at weirdly for having asked and invaded my personal space.
I've lived in the UK and US, English people aren't that stuck up... I think they're pretty open, thing is they're kind of bitter but I'm bitter myself so I appreciate it LOL and they're not overly-smiley as they are in California and they don't come off as fake. And when it comes to Americans I think the behavior depends on the state.
i wouldnt say this woman gives a true representation of britian. i live up north and its like an unwritten rule to smile, nod and even how ask someone is when you make eye contact with them in the street whether you know them or not lol we dont have finishing school where i live we have primary school, high school (finish aged 16), college (optional) and university (optional). the majority of britians are not posh like this woman watch jeremy kyle and see for yourself. Also id say the most shocking this about america for me is how many people have guns and how easily it is to get one, ive never seen an ammunition or gun shop in england expect BB guns. our police force dont even carry them - tazer, cuffs, done.
Everywhere in england is different the accent the slang the atmasfear like u can come up my end yorkshire then go down south to london or essex and I garente there be afew things different
OK I'm sorry but if you're not allowed to compliment a girl on how pretty she is with the intentions of asking her out then where are u supposed to take thr
***** I don't know... both are extremes, so neither are great. She doesn't really provide a genuine representation of your average British person, she sort of just perpetuates the idea that the British are all stuck up prudes. In my opinion she only represents a very small group of people: The English upper classes.
THE FACTS - i come from west London , in central London they are so up them selves it's a joke ( stuck up and ignorant ) the further away from central London you get, the more friendly people are. you get rough area's in most cities , but across the board people have more time for you when you start to distance yourself from the city of London. the further you travel out , the more friendly it gets. there are rich people up and down the country so it's not money that makes you like this. many large cities in England are really busy so it's not down to living in a large city. so i put it down to some sort of elite attitude mindset , which is that normal people are here to serve them. like politicians who lie to the public as if the public are all dumb fools. i am a friendly person in life and am offended by sheer rudeness & ignorance. this is my own person view. so don't think England is central London , as there is a big difference in the people. England is a great country and London is a great city, but the people of England are truly unique across the board.
Here come all the arrogant comments of people saying how Americans are stupid and fat and etc. Excuse me but I'm thin and I'm a straight A student and I live in America so shut your mouths and stop judging everyone by what you hear. Please and thank ya. MERICA
We're just anti-social creatures that's all. I wouldn't punch someone over a compliment.. But i would thank them and look over my shoulder a few times to make sure i'm not being followed. So i guess we are just a suspicious bunch too.
This is just one person, she is pretending to represent all British people as POSH emotionless holier than thou creatures. I have English relatives and friends, they are much more down to earth and friendly warm people than this woman is portraying them to be. it is human nature to enjoy hugging people you are friends with, she needs to lighten up and enjoy life more than she seems to here.
Just seconds into the video & noticed the host is one of the most annoying people on RU-vid . . . Then the audio cuts out mid way through. I think this was about some reality show or something anyway. Not really what the title implied.
How many youtube experts can actually claim to be Brits living in America? I will tell you straight up you will need to repeat your self 5 times for every spoken sentence in the states. People here don't understand the British/Australian accent. Apart from that - it's the same. Except for sneakers and maybe "world series" ughhhhh..........
She's a horrid misrepresentation of the British people. Please stop misguiding your audiences into thinking all Brits are like her. That would be hell. Anyway there's a passive aggressive streak throughout the whole show, only the guy seems natural. Who is your target anyway? A lot of chatter chatter, no merit whatsoever. God, why am I even watching this? The dark side of RU-vid.
