DonKey Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Just watched Warzone on one of the Channel 5 offspring channels. Basically about life on the big military base in Afghanistan. Not all bad, they have a 'disco', and I bet you can't guess which nation runs the 'disco'. Thats right, not stereotyping at all.... its those 'Crazy Dutch guys'.

Churinga2 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Do You English have a stereotype for Belgians (I know the Dutch and French think we are dumb) If i think about English in terms of stereotypes, they are a bunch of distant teadrinkers, wearing bowlerhats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Used to be a perception that Belgian food was awful for some reason. Then I had the best steak I've ever eaten in Zeebrugge so that got blown out of the water . ...and good beer. That part is true . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue 250 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 For me the typical Belgian, is 6'4", with crazy hair and a liking for the colour yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Churinga.. I tend to think that Belgium women have hairy armpits and the men have moustaches. I also think Belgians like making chocolate and beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest efctaxi Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I have many friends from all over Europe ; especially Belgium and Holland , but it's very difficult to speak your language . We ran / run many forums together , and believe me , I was glad they spoke perfect English Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 if someone says first thing that comes to your head when i say belgium my answer would be chocolate. for me the french are arrogant, the dutch smoke alot of weed, the italians talk with their hands and the spanish take far too many naps. Not being stereotypical there tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish Red Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Do You English have a stereotype for Belgians (I know the Dutch and French think we are dumb) If i think about English in terms of stereotypes, they are a bunch of distant teadrinkers, wearing bowlerhats Belgians are often stereotyped, where I am anyway, for nothing. I literally know nothing about Belgium except that you have the EU parliament there and nice chocolate. Going there next year to the battlefields so I might get a better idea.
