Need a list so I'll begin, but please ignore racism or politics:

Conservative
Drink Tea
Love the royal family
Football Hooligans
Fish and chips
Horrible fashion sense
Punctual
Polite
Believe in their invincibility
1966
All sports winners are English (Barry McGuigan, Greg Lemond etc)

Taking to the morning commute with a mixture of pointy elbows and resignation.
Hiding behind their newspapers on the morning train. 
Terrified of getting up and closing that window for fear of embarrassment even though everyone on the bus is freezing. 
Queueing obediently in line and bristling at anyone who jumps the queue.
Politely saying "sorry" when they walk within a few feet of you.

Can't say I've ever found them to be smelly.

From my experience it is the Irish who apologise when someone else bumps into you, while the English keep on walking without any acknowledgement at all.
Time to take a more chill-pill approach to life.
