The English Give a Bad Impression

It may be that people from other countries have a better view of the English before they meet them, but I have just come back from England and I had a great time. It was so nice to be around real English people again and to talk English to people who have it as a first language.

After seven years of living in Sweden it was a refreshing change to meet people who were that bit more open and chatty. Maybe this just reflects on the fact that I am more confident when meeting English speaking people. I miss having other English people around me, living in Sweden, and these trips back to Blighty really help. Not that I would necessarily move back there, its just that this is my cultural background and my roots.
