They don't think a whole lot of us that I can tell. 
Nobody looks you in the eye. 
Humor is non fricking existent. 
Weather sucks and so far food is so-so. 

I have 4 more days so it can redeem itself but so far I'm not impressed.

That's like if a British person spent 3 days in alabama and was like "america is shite"

As someone with ACTUAL English cousins, here's what they think of us...

1) They love us
2) They think we are loud, dumb, and funny
3) They especially love Southerners (but think we are extra dumb)
4) They love our movies and tv shows, especially the bad ones
5) They think we copy all their stuff- like Idol and Big Brother
6) They respect the colonists/Founding Fathers for standing up to the King and demanding equal treatment
7) They don't understand why we are more religious and love owning guns (probably because they don't)
8) They are glad to have us as their #1 ally.

This might not be 100% accurate, but it is for the most part my experience with my English cousins and just about every English person I have known.

ALSO:

They love Disneyworld (which I hate), and I have no idea why

Older ones love Elvis. I mean, big time, sorta like Baby Boomers in the US loved the Beatles.

They think we're stupid and our food sucks. But they're getting overrun by muslims, so frick 'em.

I was told by several Europeans (Germans, Spanis, Swedes mostly) that the British like people who come from a country that is less powerful than Britain, and hate people who come from countries of equal or greater strength.

I agree with all who say they think we are too in your face and too open about feelings and such. I've had a good deal of interaction from Brits and the Irish due to my company's operations over there, and they hate how the U.S. yankees butcher the English language. They enjoy the southern accent as they feel it sounds refined, soft, and more similar to theirs. Which they believe to be the proper way to speak English. I've been told that my accent is almost as "lovely" as their own. They have no problem with their self worth, obviously!

Oh you English are SO superior aren't you? Well, would you like to know where you'd be without US the good old U.S. of A. to protect you? I'll tell you. The smallest fricking province in the Russian Empire, that's where! So DON'T call me stupid, lady. Just THANK me! ...If it wasn't for us, you'd all be speaking German, singing, "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles!"

You English! You think you're so superior, don't you? Well you're the filth of the planet! A bunch of pompous, badly dressed, poverty stricken, sexually repressed football hooligans!

Wanda, do you have any idea what it's like being English? Being so correct all the time, being so stifled by this dread of, of doing the wrong thing, of saying to someone, 'Are you married?' and hearing, ' My wife left me this morning,' or saying, uh, ' Do you have children?' and being told they all burned to death on Wednesday. You see, Wanda, we're all terrified of embarrassment. That's why we're so - dead. Most of my friends are dead, you know; we've these piles of corpses to dinner. But you're alive, God bless you, and I want to be, I'm so fed up with all this. I want to make love with you, Wanda. I'm a good lover - at least, used to be, back in the early 14th century. Can we go to bed?

Umm, that's bullshite. Who has worse food than the Brits? Maybe the Slavs, but that's about it. I don't think any British person would say their cuisine is better than ours, especially from the sheer variety.
