I don't know about you, but the kind of Great Brittain that my old text books showed me (with images of people in bowler hats quietly waiting in line before getting on that red double decker bus) is a far cry from the kind of Great Britain that you get to see on TV or real life. It's safe to say that the U.K. has a bit of an image problem and there are lots of bad clichés doing the rounds.
Scottish snack food brand McVitie's made a funny commercial that clearly refers to all of these prejudices. The ad featues a comic actor I recognise from the Fast Show. He's one of the characters in the Chanel 9 sketches, but I can't remember his name. Anyone?
