Australian here. We aren't drowning in murderous wildlife.
We do have deadly creatures, but the average person will likely never encounter them.
... we did have to ban a peppa pig episode about making friends with random spiders because aaaaa dear christ no, but apart from that really it's fine here...
Nice try, murderous creature. I'm not falling for that.
Seriously, though, that makes sense. Lots of countries have dangerous wildlife but they're mostly far from the big cities where people live. Plus Australia seems to have a large amount of land that's not populated (I think? Never been there). What would be the most dangerous animal an average person in the big cities encounter? Venomous spiders?
There are none. Every single thing said about Florida is absolutely true.
British. No idea how we have a reputation for politeness; borderline abusive piss-taking is standard between mates, as is referring to each other as cunts. Groups of lads, and particularly middle-aged pub goers, can often be lairy, loud, obnoxious, aggressive louts.
It’s baffling. Though in fairness, this stereotype exists mainly in the US. Countries we can get to via EasyJet or RyanAir have probably long been disavowed of this impression.
It's from Americans who haven't interacted with any British people, but are really attached to the idea that colonialism was a "civilizing" mission. You guys must be polite, only a population of saints would have those centuries of pure charity on their record.
