    Step 1: Stereotypes

    1. As a first step, let’s re-establish some national stereotypes using two famous British comedians.
    We start with Danny Bhoy on national symbols. The clip lasts about 3 min.
    (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2U5lA49eEo). Answer the questions below.
    a) Add the correct name to the plants, the nation it symbolizes and the characteristics Bhoy
    attributes to these nations. ( 0 1 2 )

    “We must have gotten there right at the end of the


    day….”

    “What? Free?”

    c) At the end there’s this line: “(…) It’s causing havoc [destruction] in the rose garden.” “The rose garden, hey?
    Pack ‘em up.” What does this tell you about the relationship the Scots have with the English?
