Myths & Facts

After having spent over three months living & working in Bristol, I’m now absolutely certain that there are some myths about the English that are not true at all or, at least, not totally accurate enough. However, there are some others mentioned in an interesting book that I’m currently reading, which is called “Watching the English”, that are completely recognisible once you’ve been dealing with some English people.
I find it truly interesting trying to guess that the point in which some facts becomes a myth and viceversa in real life. When you try to know and discover a culture, it is, in my opinion, amusing to check if what you thought it was a myth is a real fact taking place at practically every single corner, or if on the contrary, what you thought it was going to be a real fact happening all the time is  , in fact,  actually a myth.
Anyway, I think both of them –myths and facts- are equally worthy to know, if you really want to embrace that  the culture you are trying to dip into.
