I was interested in what sort of range we have on OOT, and what you think of yourselves. I know the following are present (okay, maybe 2nd gen): American, Canadian, English, Scottish, Irish, French, Finnish, Italian, Swedish (Swede?). Any others?
And what's good/bad about your nationality (you can extend this to province/state/county/city/town if you want) For me, as English... Good: We laugh at ourselves, we are badasses if we need to be, we're mostly polite, we just get on with stuff if it needs doing Bad: Embarrassing binge-drinking (especially overseas), we can be rude overseas generally (we think everyone speaks English), we think we're bloody great despite any contrary evidence, we put up with stuff far too much sometimes before we act on it (eg bad service/food in restaurants), teeth |

You may as well put the teeth thing in, before our American friends point out the omission...

Aww, come on, I can't list every little thing...
Heh, the English getting criticised by an American for being slow to tackle the Nazis. Didn't expect that today. |

Texan. We make good chili, BBQ and Tex-Mex but we talk slow.
