How Others View The British (house, live, car)

[Cyanna]

Based on the article links I'm providing below, would you agree or disagree that the views other nations hold about the British are fairly correct? If these opinions are, in your opinion, unfair, how would you suggest the British change this impression of themselves?

Discuss!

I have to be honest and say I didn`t read them..I quoted the above and typed this....
Why should I or any Brit even try???
Do you as an American care what people think about you as an American?? I doubt it,,or at least you shouldn`t,,,..I only care about people from a personal point of view..I`ve met some Americans on here that I would seriously consider as friends. We`ve gone further than posts ...
On the other hand I`ve met Brits [so called] that I wouldn`t give house room to their opinions,,...Why should any Nationality change their attitude to suit another??? Or even worse ..Why should anyone change their personal attitude to suit another?????

The initial post in this thread reminds me of the no win query:

"Have you stopped beating your wife?"

A little too trollish, thanks. On to other things
