As an Aussie, I have to say the stereotypes are as follows;

Irish: Mad, heavy drinkers, would back you up in a fight.

Scots: Mad, heavy drinkers, tight-arsed, would back you up in a fight unless you owed them 5p.

Welsh: Slightly mad, would probably stop a fight in its tracks by simply yelling out 'Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch' .

English: A bit slow, pasty, couldn't drink a nun under the table, would run from a fight even if it was their best friend.

Just a stereotype, but half of that word can be read as 'typical'
Indeed.
Aussie: Hard drinking, BBQ taming, loutish, hate the royals etc.

Until you actually go over there and find that they are church going, lightweights who go to bed at 9pm and love the Royal Family.
I couldn't believe how quiet Sydney was on a week night after about half past nine.
