On my recent trip I found it interesting that it's very easy to pick out English women and American men by their appearance. Here's my guide to the former:

Dressed in beachwear, normally:
Sleeveless vest in a pastel colour, two sizes too small and a bit short
Shorts in white or pastel colour, rather wrinkly and a bit grubby
Flipflops sliding off feet

No makeup and fair skin showing signs of sunburn
Large bag over one shoulder and at least two children
Harassed expression

When you're tired of London, go to Paris

Here in FL we can always tell the British tourist, they are all beet red and peeling and usually eating sweeties! Also the men are usually wearing what we call muscle shirts, showing hairy arm pits!
