Ooh, a survey! I wanna play!
1. Do Brits (including Ireland of course) celebrate the US's Thanksgiving? No.
2. Do Brits dislike Americans (on average)? I'd say like. There's the whole "Americans are rude and stupid" stereotype thing going on, but I don't think it causes any dislike.
3. Do you like having a monarchy? Most of us do. But some people have a problem with it for some reason.
4. Do you prefer American TV shows over British TV shows (on average)? Depends. I like a mix myself. British Soaps are always better than American ones, but things like Dramas and comedies are pretty even imo.
5. Do you feel there is any truth that Americans have better teeth than Brits? Nope. In fact, Brits and Germans have the healthiest teeth in the world. I'll post a link in a minute (if I close tapatalk now and go looking for it this whole post will be gone.)

6. Do you think American's have a sexy accent or do you think we sound really stupid? Some of the Southern Accents sound really stupid, but the rest aren't really anything. Not sexy or stupid.
7. What's so great about Doctor Who? Everything!
8. How common is the word 'fag' used when referring to a cigarette? It's mostly old people and chavvy sounding people who use the word.
9. Do you wish your country had won the Revolutionary War? I don't think anyone here cares. I don't even know when it was.
10. Would you be willing to let me stay with you for a week if I visited your country? ... Maybe. Are you asking?
(For the record, I think the British accent is far superior to the American accent.) Which British Accent? There are like 100. (pleasemeanmine)
