The Scottish thing always makes me laugh! Im an English guy living in Scotland and every single Scot will tell you with great joy that they are not part of Britain!
In fact the UK is exactly that, the United Kingdom! Comprised of four countries. If you dont like it, 100s of years say tough!
I do notice that hypocrisy that Scots in particular dont like it in some cases when they are not referred to as British! Particular when referred to from overseas.

I agree with you, shazeroon. I'm not British, but I lived in England for about 5 years, and continue to visit every year. I actually really like this movie (for what it is), and think that the British scenes were all in fun. It was done in a very lighthearted, nonmalicious way, and as someone who is very familiar with British customs and traditions, I couldn't help but laugh. The humor is all in knowing that this is not what the Brits are really like.

im irish.and you should see the way irish people are portrayed in most hollywood films. did anyone ever see 'The Matchmaker'???? that movie is hilarious (in a baaad way) and really makes irish people look like eejits. if i were englishi wouldnt be insulted bout how this movie portrays english people, id find it as a compliment cos hollywood makes other nationalities look 100 times worse.
its hilariousjust goes to show how intelligent they are themselves.
