Speaking as an American I think the stereotype to us is about the visual of British teeth vs knowing how healthy those teeth may be. Americans are such a vain group people that we see crowded, spaced, janky teeth and are like “whoa”. Honestly, I fall into myself with fellow Americans.
It’s not uncommon in my area of PA to see people missing numerous teeth or have serious looking decay. I’m always blown away by it forgetting most people just don’t have access to adequate dental care, if any, or coverage.
Personally, I wouldn’t be able to walk around with missing teeth. I just couldn’t. I mean I paid out 7k for adult braces for one slightly tinted tooth after wearing braces as a teen. I’m that kind of vain.
R’s dental insurance isn’t accepted locally and he has to travel more than an hour from home to see a dentist. He complains every time. I remind him at least he has coverage cause so many don’t.

England trashed the Miami Dolphins stadium, where the game happened, all because they lost. WHY is it always the British that do this shit? I was in Belgium when the soccer stadium collapse when Liverpool lost. I think it was back in 84 or so. Google tells me it was 1985. simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heysel_Stadium_disaster |

And let's not talk about the steep rise in domestic violence when England loses a match. The big boys get so upset a bunch of dudes didn't kick a ball right they have to beat up their partners

Next door to Guernsey (cows + jumpers). For some reason in Oz we call football jumpers both jerseys and guernseys, depending on which state and football code. I have several guernseys and a couple of jerseys. |
