My dad when he was being "overpaid" in Britain during WWII liked the United Kingdom and Britons in general. I have found that with my contact with the United Kingdom identical results. It may be something in my genetic background. I tend to like Britons of all backgrounds, and Britain in general. I found no problem understanding all the dialects I ran into. I found that Britons tend to like me, but then, I know how not to be an "Ugly American".
