There are always streotypes about different cultures. Some of them are ridiculous misconceptions, but the ones about GB appear to be true...
ENGLISH TEA
Not everyone does drink tea here as there are plenty of coffee shops and Starbucks to go around too because of the influence of Europe.
The tea-break is to England as what a trip to the water-cooler is to America, a part of the culture and considered an 'institution'.
PERSONALITY
They are reserved and determined.
"Men wearing bowler hats, a pin striped suit, a newspaper under the arm and carrying a long unopen umbrella."
Bowler hats are very rarely seen in England today. In fact, I don't think I have ever seen one being worn apart from in the movies!
