Funny old thing that ! They can't see the humour we derive from that particular stereotype, even showing them the Carling advert didn't raise a chortle from our Teutonics.

Mind you, they call us "Englander" irrespective of which home Nation we profess to hail from which really winds the Jockeens up ! My how we chuckle when our pet Jock is spitting feathers & vitriol & being fit to burst at being called English.
