Lonely Planet have just published a new travel guide to England. Among other things it describes my fellow countrymen as being "uninhibited, tolerant, exhibitionist, passionate, aggressive, sentimental, hospitable and friendly".
Things have certainly changed, not only does England now have the best restaurant in the entire World - The Fat Duck in Bray (according to at least one survey), it also has people that can be described as uninhibited and passionate, once terms only used to describe those Mediterranean folk.
However, everything is not moving in a positive direction, Slashdot picked up on some potential candidates for the Darwin awards - Home Made Star Wars Movie Injury adding perhaps stupidity to our character traits.
