"In the eyes of the world, the British people – and in particular the English – are arrogant, unfriendly and have almost no sense of humour."
Are they sure they didnt mean Germans?
The French had particular problems with the English – rather than the Scots and the Welsh – and were the least likely of any of the countries surveyed to visit the United Kingdom, despite their close proximity.
LOL Gutted. No truly.
"The French do not perceive they would receive a warm welcome if they visited the UK," the report revealed"
No? Seriously? I dont beleive that.
"The British sense of humour received the lowest scores of any category and the Italians rated us the second least funny people in the world."
Yes but thats because they speak Italian and so cant understand our jokes.
Italian respondents ranked the UK eighth in the category of being honestly and fairly governed despite their own country's history of political turmoil and sleaze.
Ok Now I know its a piss take...the Eyeties whining about someone elses government being corrupt?
Although...
Despite the poor image, Britain remains the sixth most popular tourist destination for tourists around the world
So frankly bollox to them. As long as Johnny Foreigner keeps spending his hard earned Euros/Sheckels/Dollars/Yen and doesnt get so comfy he wants to stay why do we give a fuck?

Argentina, meanwhile, ranked Britain 31st in terms of friendliness. "Improving Argentines' perceptions of the welcome is a key challenge for the industry," the VisitBritain report acknowledged.

Overall, the Canadians, the Australians and the Spanish were perceived to be the friendliest people.
