I thought that I would try and explain where my, and that of many other of my compatriates, stereotypical view of Americans came from. If I were you I would blame Ricki, Jerry, Ophra et all. We vget these programmes sent over here and they seem to show those people on stage as being (delete where applicable) fat, lazy, transvestites who go out with strippers. I understand that these are the extremes but hey, if you are continually shown these images certain associations will eventually start to form. And my mate in America says that lots of people in New Jersey, are fat, so they must be. That is my reasoning, No offence intended again. Jake ps What is the American stereotype of us English. Is it all Hugh Grant, posh accents.......
