Apparently the video already influenced the crowd – our conversation is so short it's almost non-existant.

I laughed more than i expected at that video.

As far as those charts go, i can say that given the state of English politics, the chart indicates all the smokescreen and hot air with no real resolution that truly exists. By and large, what the English say is hidden under layers of sensibilities and vague humour. Of course this is not representative of the numerous ethnicities of immigrants in this country, nor does it hold as much truth depending on influence by youth culture, who tend towards more brash and desensitized conversation and behaviour.

Thanks for leaving a comment, yeah England is big and culturally diverse compared to a small Nordic country, although we also have our share of multiculturalism. What many might not know is that for example Helsinki is 'Blacker' than Wyoming or many of the New English states in USA today. The immigration officer shows to have succeeded in his job then I guess.

Did you identify yourself as a guy from England or someone from elsewhere, what comes to communication habits, PickleMendip?

I identify myself as English living in England.

I live in a crappy smallish town (so, not a big cosmopolitan city) but here we are experiencing a large influx of immigrants from Poland, Portugal, Turkey, Czech, Slovakia, Latvia, Lithuania... etc. This trend has escalated a lot recently, so, what defines 'English' is changing very rapidly.

There is another influence at work here; Americanism has been around for much longer than the immigration boom, through media and political allegiances. I'm not saying it's all bad, but it has to be considered in a topic like this when trying to define a national culture. And it certainly has had a significant impact, especially in idiomatic expressions of youth culture.

That's true, Americanism spreads everywhere. Though Finns are happy to identify as Finns and Nordics, you can on occasion see American flags as curtains, shirts and whatnot in here as well. It's the same with the Union Jack though. My point is that the American culture has made an impact here too, though the boom is gone because it was in the 80's. The United Kingdom is like another state or a bunch states of USA, as they often say.

There will be a lot of new definitions at this pace within Europe.

I laughed so hard at the Hungarian one.
