Nope, can't say we think of those stereotypes about Americans. Everyone being the size of a house, living in trailer parks, and listening to country music (spit) are better ones.

Maybe this is based on people coming back from the US and telling us how big the portions are.

But then every brit on this planet has yellow teeth, drinks tea, watches Benny Hill.

But thats not a stereotype. They are all totally true. Much like the fact that 40% of all male teenagers are chimney sweeps and 29% of professional males still wear bowler hats. Totally true.

Although when it comes to Benny Hill, isn't it the Germans who really love that stuff?
