I thought this was absolutely brilliant. On a ‘thread’ about a man eating flesh and growling at police in florida, and being called a zombie.
Credit goes to tumblr user drinkingteaandwatchingporn for this comeback. And sorry about having to cut the names off!
hayazaki-iroke asked: About the bad teeth thing; I always thought that it was because British people don't care too much about wether or not their teeth are crooked or not. It seems to me that Americans care a lot more about "perfect" teeth in comparison, so in their eyes British have bad teeth, just because they don't find it necessary to get it all fixed.
quirkbiscuits asked: I read somewhere that Britons have the healthiest teeth in the world in terms of cavities and decay. We just don't go for the chemically whitened, perfectly straight look as much as Americans and such do.
harrietstevens95 asked: Just wondering if you could explain where the idea that all Britons have bad teeth came from? Only discovered this stereotype the other day, and not sure what brought it about? Thanks haha :)
I think it’s got something to do with the first settlers, as they had to travel by ship they’d suffer from vitamin deficiencies that could cause things lie scurvy and bad teeth.
I think it’s also just a bit fun, the same way Britons joke that all Americans are obese, although they are not.
these took a good 45 minutes but are well worth it :D
remember when this thing was number #1 in the uk charts.
zombifiedteabag asked: Even MORE pedantic about the whole Union Jack vs. Flag thing... The Union Jack is actually never flown at sea, it's only flown on British battleships whilst in harbour, on the jackstaff. The Ensign is flown at sea. Geekery over.
I found this on facebook, haha :’D
The tax on Cornish pasties is to be reversed! Nice to see the government have some sense.
starbucks-conversations asked: Can people please learn the name of our flag.... It's not the Union Jack unless it's out on sea. It's called the Union Flag.
Apologies if I sound a bit condescending here but that is not true. The two can be use interchangeably. In 1908, Parliament stated that “the Union Jack should be regarded as the National flag”. Therefore the Union Jack is also correct. The whole idea of it being used just at sea is a recent one, within the last century or so.
Sitting in the sun after a bike ride watching a game of bowls, with union jack bunting in the foreground and a windmill in the background. Thought this was pleasantly British
approach-with-caution-i-bite asked: I have lived in Wales for more than 20yrs. "It's picking to rain" has always been something that's said as it spits. Not sure why, I don't know, maybe it's because it can never make it's mind up. Raining for 5mins, sunny for 5mins. Welsh-isms rock. Like Cwtching! Amazing!
Ah right. I’ve never heard of ‘picking to rain’ before, but I have heard of cwtching!
chicagoroses asked: I'm welsh and I've said it and heard it,It means when it's raining but only the few tiny drops until the proper rain hits.
So it’s equivalent to saying that “it’s spitting”?
