Just about everyone I've talked to or met from another country has been very polite and nice to me, and I made sure to return the courtesy. Its like everyone said, people just have these silly stereotypes in their head.
IE; I'm from Canada. The last time I remember using the word "EH?" is a few seconds ago when I wrote this sentence, but its still played on in almost every TV show around thats not made in Canada. (Not that it's not funny or anything.)
Anywhoooo, back to the topic, British people are cool. I dig the different flavours in the accents, and about half my family is from England.
