I heard a very similar conversation when I was living in Wales at a Wetherspoons.

I'm not really sure what constitutes being British I mean without stereotyping. One thing I noticed was that British men are far more reserved about their feelings towards other people. I'm in kind of a unique position because I have British citizenship, lived in Wales for 8 months, and was raised by British parents, while living in North America, so I kind of saw both sides.
