I've travelled quite a bit in Southern and Eastern Africa, India, Nepal and south east Asia. Im not saying there isnt some, but persoanlly i can honestly say not once did I encounter any hostility because of my British Nationality. Also travelled extensively through Europe and it's the same. In fact the people in some countries are more than welcoming, Poland, Norway and the Dutch are very friendly to the Brits as many haven't forgotten the stance we took in the 1940.
Same. Throw in Asia-Pacific as well in my experience. Then there is North America as well. The British don't seem to have a bad reputation, imho, despite what we put a lot of the world through.
I suppose each nation has its "rivalries", though. Neither here nor there really, but I remember the South African owner of our luxury business telling one of our IT directors, who was Australian, that it was good to have him around because Australians are the only people they can look down on culturally.
And that is a low bar .....
