The English.

The English are a nation of stay-at-home. There is no place like home, they say. And when the man is not working, he withdraws from the world to the company of his wife and children, and busies himself with the affairs of the home. "The Englishman's home is his castle", is a saying known all over the world; and it is true that English people prefer small houses, built to house one family, perhaps with a small garden.
The fire is the focus of the English home. What do other nations sit around? The answer is they don't. they go out to cafes. For the English it is the open fire and the ceremony of English tea.
The English are among the most amiable people in the world: they can also be very ruthless. They have a genius for compromise on others with surprising efficiency. They are generous in small matters, but more cautious in big ones.
The English are reputed to be cold, reserved, steady, easy-going and fond of sports.
