15 British Stereotypes
Beefeaters , guarding the palace and keeping a botox face
Footballers from small local teams where family supporters huddle in the wind and the rain to cheer them on, pubs with wide screen tv’s and cock-eyed punters cheering and belching , huge stadiums where faithful supporters droan the team anthem.
Morris Dancers…the bells, the bells!
British Bobbies. A rare sight on foot, and somehow in cars they aren’t bobbies.
Women from the WI (Women’s Institute) They really do make cake and jam and meet in church halls.
Men in bowler hats. Very few now , but still an image of the English. Must be something to do with the shape of the bowler-hatted head
Middle aged women on bicycles with baskets. Not necessarily nosy and into solving mysteries.
Cricketers in white on a village green where the sun always shines and cucumber sandwiches abound.
Milkmen. Bottles of milk placed on your doorstep - it sounds magical and historical already!
Horsey Dog walkers … or doggy horse riders! The horse/dog set wearing tweed and snorting as they laugh.
Cockney market traders. Rollaarp! Ieem not askin’ a tenna, not eeeeven a fiva, Ieeem not eeeeven goingta ask fooooar quid. No ladissandgenlarmen I can offa you this for the amayzing and once only price of thurreee pounds and fifty pence-!
Debutantes
Partying and clubbing by night, attending spas and beauty parlours by day, then they get married, and and go partying and clubbing at night and attend beauty parlours by day!
Crabby Pensioners at Bus Stops (or in Post Office Queues)
Hardly surprising given the draughty unwelcoming shelters, late buses and long queues.
Goofy Vicars well meaning, affable and dim.
Old Maids. School teachers with slightly pointy noses.
