English girls

When I was on the train yesterday I got chatting to a couple of lads from New York, aged about 22, who got on at Chester. They were students on their way from London, via an overnight stop in Northampton (yes, I did say Northampton) to Dublin via Holyhead. They said they would be flying home from Ireland but wished they were going back to England. When quizzed, they told me that they had met some lovely English girls and didn't want to leave them behind. Indeed, they went further and said that generally English girls are more attractive than American girls and put this down to Americans often wearing heavy cosmetics/makeup. After some discussion it was decided that English girls tend to be less self conscious. Now, what would they have said about Welsh girls, I wonder? If any American girls read this, do you think it is fair?
At some point in the conversation I said that there is one European capital city which beats London, and that is Berlin. This provoked another young man to join the conversation saying he was from Berlin and also a student. What a coincidence. I think he was a bit surprised that the last time I was there was in about 1991, when most of the wall was still standing. However, the woman in the corner, promptly chipped in that she was a Londoner. That part of the conversation lasted from Chester to Prestatyn on the train.
