    country!!!!! obviously

    famous people or sterotypes…. keep it within the bounds of respectabilty as it is for school kids learning english

    eg. she is english, she comes from england

    so far i have:
    england the queen
    canada a mounted policeman, a mountie
    peru a man witha funny hat (what are they called, those hats. i need to find pic on google)
    russia lenin/stalin
    switzerland someone eating cheese/looking an idiot in a field with cows
    german don’t say hitler!
    italy ?
    china ?
    japan ?
    welsh ?
    bosnian ? there is a bosnian in the class who is very quiet, want her to say something. not molosovic.
    Polish ?
    american ? prob some patriotic dick dressed in stars’n’strips

    any ideas/other nationalities welcome. (oh, i’m in germany if that helps focus your minds)

    You may like to remember that she is the Queen of more than just England.

    Other than that, an excellently pointless post.
