Official: British women are 'ugliest in the world'

British women are branded the 'ugliest in the world'
(from the Daily Mail, so it must be true)

I just got back from a weekend in the UK (first time in a year) and it was absolutely shocking walking down a home counties high street on Saturday afternoon.

Whatever happened to the English rose?

That tunnel in Paris.

Don't worry- Englishmen are just as fug, fortunately there is nothing to miss as there never has been a good looking one.

We easily scored the dubious honour of topping the poll, scoring 22.4 per cent of the votes, with American women following us with 16.7 per cent.

The Germans came in a close third with 15.7 per cent, followed by Eastern Europeans and Spaniards, with the Turks at the bottom of the list.


I call tosh.
German women ugly? have they been to Munich recently? and Eastern European women? Walking through Bratislava or Krakow is like walking through a model parade.

Where are the French in that list?
Poll is rubbish.

Re: Official: British women are 'ugliest in the world'

maybe i'm just a freak, but i like english girls. they're down to earth and fun. not a big fan of the overly-made-up look that seems popular in switzerland, though i can understand those that do.

Re: Official: British women are 'ugliest in the world'

I would suggest that the high class birds have:

- already left the UK. Like SWMBO :-)
- have a job/house/partner so not seen pushing Tyson and Chardonnay around the local shopping centre
- don't flash their fannies and muffin tops on Costa Del Slags

You know it.

I took a look at the website from where this interesting survey came from and couldn't find it. But I did discover the site is UKy- the homies are dissin' their own.

You might just want to pipe down a bit - apparently, there was a recount and, well, see for yourself

Re: Official: British women are 'ugliest in the world'

Thanks for that, weejeem. I see my fellow countrywomen fared EXCELLENTLY in this survey!

BTW, according to this link both the UK and Eastern Europe are single "countries" - their pollsters must be first-in-class.
