Met loads of nice southerners, and Germans. Some of the richest people in the world are self made and don't have qualifications. I read somewhere that Richard Branson didn't do GCE's. People do generalise because that's human nature, and we have probably all done it. Before anybody denies this, ask yourselves this question.

Have you ever told or laughed at an Irish, Scouse, Indian, Chinese, Mother - in - law, Blonde etc, joke????

That is stereotyping and generalisation at its best and some of the best jokes in the world and the greatest entertainers would not exist if it were not for the human need to stereotype. ;D  ;D  ;D
