Brits or Aussies?  Who's friendlier?

I'm British, but I think Aussies are friendlier. Some British people can be rude and too private. Not to put my country down but I wish some people here were a little different.

I love the accent, and most Aussie's that ive met have had a charming, laid back attitude that makes you want to be around them! (Im in the U.S., by the way)

Brits hate to be compared to the Germans but like it or not they are the most closely related, in blood and historically.  Anglo-saxons are german.  And you dont have to scratch too deep to discover that they are still very similar in their make-up to brits today.  Our language and culture belong to the germanic groups which include the dutch.  But it is true that the Dutch do not like the Germans, the Germans however do like the Brits but it is an unrequited thing on our side.  For a dutchman to accuse the brits of being like the germans conveniently forgets he's related to them too.

Well, our culture is most derivative of Britain's.  We adopted their common law wholesale, for example, and their language.  We weren't a Commonwealth country, but that is sort of just the way it worked out.  We have ties, for certain.\n\nGreat Britain and France are allies now, but historically they were enemies and rivals for a long LONG time.  I don't know if we just inherited that mantle as well, or if the abrasion between the French (or Parisians) and us is born of other things.  Clearly the French are highly offended by McDonalds in France, and growth of the use of the English language, however I think most of us just find that amusing.\n\nI think we don't consider them as true to their obligations as an ally as we consider Great Britain to be, and we reciprocate.  However, again, while the British don't all like us either, we have a lot in common in how we look at the world.  This probably makes our relationship easier on many levels.  \n\nHowever, I think Germany would be a closer ally as well, if it weren't now most focused on integrating into the EU.

The UK is the best ally although strong arguments can be made for Australia.  Israel, Japan, and Poland are strong allies as well.  Not that you asked but I'd say Canada is currently our worst ally.  France, Germany, and those ilk don't really count as worst *ally* because they are not truly allies any longer.

Yes, there's quite a lot of us from the UK, although we don't all still LIVE there, some of us are in other countries now!\n\nThe UK link at the bottom is a bit of a waste of time ... the questions are still the same .com ones!!!\n\nAnyway, lots of people ask questions like "For Brits only - what does this mean ...??" so just go ahead and post those Qs!!

Sorry, I'm not a Brit, and couldn't resist answering.\nPlease, we (U.S.) are still your friends.  Don't aim it at us, aim it at the French.

Great Briton is a proud, strong and sovereign nation that would prefer not to align itself too closely with the US.  This seems to bring about critisism from the left as well as its European neighbors.  We argue with Great Briton as much as anyone and that is healthy, because it shows the world that we are two different countries with two different agendas. The English know that we are here anytime they really need us.  That was true in 1939 when Nazi Germany was bombing London on a regular basis, and it is true today provided, when they need help, they ask for it.  They have been beside is in nearly every campaign since WWII and I'm quite sure they will continue to be amongst our strongest allies, along with Australia, Israel, Japan, Canada and Tawain.

cgalloway1973 is right, I'm British, and believe that we are just as capable as the Americans. BTW, to the guy who mentioned that we were (supposedly) kicked out of every country we conquered, you're wrong! It's true that we were kicked out of a few of the Nations, but we decided to give most of them back by free will alone! This inter-nation rivalry has to stop, WE'RE ON THE SAME BL**DY SIDE!!! That saying, "all the gear, but no Idea" is just a bit of friendly banter, but there are a few people here who take it too far.
