Do people genuinely believe that the UK is always raining, foggy and grey?

So the UK has this misconception that it's always raining, foggy and grey... Do you believe this?

Granted in Autumn and Winter the weather is usually overcast and miserable but come Spring and Summer we do get some awesome sunshine!

I believe that your country has a problem with Dalek invasions.

Its a matter of perspective, it certainly seems that way from where I am, but I'm at the other end of the spectrum. It rained this week, my cat had forgotten what rain is and freaked out.

This one is unfortunately true.

[Gestopft]

Not always. Just usually :P (says someone from the Seattle area)

Does America even have beer

[Airlick]

Isn't it, though?

[igualitarist]

Stereotypes. Pretty often i see people with the idea Brazil is a big jungle with only one city, filled with favelas and monkeys running around everywhere.

Only the best

We don't know much about UK weather.

Or its people for that matter.

OP is my British representative that I base all of Britain on, really.

Of course, it's foggy there all the time - except when it isn't.

I went in London two years ago, it was bright and hot. Oh ! And i saw some weird man running with a "sonic screwdriver", followed by a girl who was asking "what the hell is a sonic screwdriver?!"

[Blayze]

It's not.
Sometimes it's brown.

Like Tennis.
I believe every Canadian is like him

It's just a Stereotype. Like people that think Australians live in the Outback or Bush, when 95% of our Population lives on the coast.

No, I've watched enough Black Mirror to know better. Now San Fran on the other hand is always foggy, even though every time I've been there it was clear.

Also, there is that stereotype that you guys talk funny too. Black mirror seems to confirm that one

Thats a misconception that came from the fact British people used to favour drinking ale and stout rather than lager beers.

Ale is meant to be served slightly below room temperature while Lager beers are meant to be served ice cold.

Lager beers only started to gain massive popularity during the 80s and the 90s in Britain but the misconception came from American servicemen during WW2 where when they went into pubs they found that the Brits perfered to drink warm ales instead of ice cold German lagers that they was used to back home.

Also as someone who grew up in England but lives in Arizona i can say that its no more grey than any place in Northern parts of America.

[DoomReaver]

with out looking it up I would say my impression is that it is grey 200 days a year

It was true in Married with Children so it must be true.
