Stereotypes

The UK is full of stereotypes. Possibly more differing ones then anywhere else, but correct me if I'm wrong. Let's look at some of them...
  • Londoners are dodgy cockney geezers. (see Ray Winstone)
  • Brummies are moustachioed boredom mongers. (see Nigel Mansell)
  • Scousers are petty thieves. (see the scousers, by Harry Enfield.)
  • Mancunians are indy music clubbers who like to toke on the occasional Caribbean tobacco. (See Liam Gallagher)
  • Yorkshiremen are flat cap wearing, whippet/pigeon fancying, sheep herding farmers or miners. (see the 1948 show)
  • West country folk are country bumpkins with combine harvesters and a penchant for hard cider. (see The Two Ronnies' Yokels)
  • Scotsmen are warrior like hard men with equally hard whisky habits who hate the English(see William Wallace)
  • Geordies are football mad, brown (broon) ale drinkers. (see Mosh)
Now, my point is this. Take an entire nation like Wales, and barring the sheep shagger, we don't have a stereotype. Or do we?
