Why do Americans (supposedly) love the english?

In truth a lot of the english can't stand Americans, especially when they can't even speak proper english

Americans are the highest % migrant group in England. There's never been any known dislike among the English and Americans.
Allow me to just say you are one of my favourite English people!

@CallmeHopelessNotRomantic: Aww. :) That's sweet. And I personally never had any problem with Americans or any nationalities for that matter. It's just poor to write off people because of nationality.
I hope I'm intelligent enough as an American to have an opinion on this matter.

@JovialPlutonian: There are a lot of Americans, especially in London. Just look up migrant statistics and they're the highest.

@Aidolovemostofyourthoughts: I feel slightly disloyal in disagreeing but it's really not that Americans are the biggest pool of immigrants in the UK - Indian/Pakistan and Poland/Eastern European are the larger in terms of numbers... TO be fair Americans are pretty rare over here tho we do get a fair few AMerican visitors.

@Adaydreambeliever: In London they're the highest group. Over UK, yes you are right, its other groups.

highest migrants in London maybe but even that I dont think is necessarily true, unless theyre hiding in buckingham palace having tea with the queen

@Adaydreambeliever: You don't need to be sorry. I have personally worked with Americans. And I have seen your link. But I have also seen a BBC documentary of migrant statistics. Albeit, the documentary has been some years ago.
But I am going to bow out of this debate.

Either way, I don't think ALL English hate Americans.

@Aidolovemostofyourthoughts: no they dont all hate them at all, generally they dont even encounter them

@JovialPlutonian: Lol that is not true at all. Perhaps it depends what field of work you are in.
But I really do not want to continue here.
