The most annoying thing about Brits?

And then there is the Monty Python Gumby "dialect", if it can be called such.
 
the most annoying thing is there aren't enough of the smooth talking British men.
 
He's lost all his accent now. Sounds quite posh.

Yeah, I know. But back in the 70s ( like when he was on backstage break in "The Song Remains The Same" ) he was impossible as far as I was concerned.

To answer the question- They're basically annoying when they try to be. Yank baiting. Otherwise they're polite, most of the accents are sexy or elegant, and regardless of what people say about the food-

Bacon and Sandwiches are some of the greatest food inventions of all time.
I rest my case.

Martin Shaw from The Professionals is the same. Was strong Brummie now he's clipped English. Probably cos he's all theatre darling.

I dunno. I think the Yank/Brit baiting in the main is all done in good fun on here. Seems so but I can be an oblivious twat at times.
 
My grandfather came over from Sheffield, wherever in hell that is. But my general problem with Brits is their silly devotion to paperwork. If hell is erupting they demand an exit visa before you can flee. And all have bad teeth.

Half an hour from me. The home of steel and Def LEPPARD.
 
I have no idea.

All we have here are the great-grandsons of Scots...

They seem pretty Americanized.
 
Annoying?

Our sense of superiority over the rest of the English-speaking world.

But that is ridiculous. Too many of us are descended from non-English speaking immigrants.

I have to go a long way back in my ancestry but they were speaking Norman French, Spanish and Welsh.

My wife's ancestry has more recent (mid 19th Century) Polish and German.

Some of the generations of my parents and grandparents spoke Cockney (Why not? They were born within the sound of Bow Bells.) and broad Suffolk.

My parents' generation were the first to speak cut-glass BBC English of the 1930s. But they could lapse into Cockney when appropriate.
 
Weather beaten faces.

Also agree with the mention of bad teeth.
