In the book everyone has bad teeth...
Now I've heard this joke before but I've never really been bothered to check why there's a running joke about the teeth of the British...
Explain....
Yep, kinda true, you don't have to have a super fluorescent white smile to get ahead over here. Most people have more important things to pay for. Like the governments latest botched initiative/pay rise & pension/tax. Then beer
2. different values on vanity in GB
Very true. I guess only reporters/newscasters/presenters etc. do have to have proper pearly whites. Actors in general don't, probably as it makes them seem 'more real', or they just can't be arsed. Like the rest of us. I was watching Dr Who the other night and the teeth on display were atrocious! but real
3. Much fewer TV channels filled with glorified and super vane actors.
LMAO! get over to fark, you'll fit right in!
4. dim light most of the time due to weather hides snaggletooth
BWHAHAHA best yet! Believe me, come puberty, us dirty Brits find much more interesting things to suck on than thumbs. You do know how high our teenage pregnancy stats are?
5. much more thumb sucking (even through adult hood) in GB-Americans use more pacifiers which get taken away from children and habit is easier to kick.

It's just the same as we English think all American's are fat, lazy and stupid! The same way we think that all French people eat Frogs and snails,
It's just steriotype! Nothing to get mad over

French people do eat frogs and snails!! They're actually quite nice. Frogs legs are like little morsels of chicken; they're not eaten very often really. Snails are eaten by the dozen, and are cooked in the oven with garlic butter and herbs and washed down with some white wine.
Oh, and the French stereotype of British cuisine is the obvious roast beef, and also roast lamb drowned in gravy and mint sauce.
