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.http://youknowyourebritishwhen.com/post/23993566570http://youknowyourebritishwhen.com/post/23993566570Tue, 29 May 2012 13:25:48 +0100I 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.http://youknowyourebritishwhen.com/post/23993407448http://youknowyourebritishwhen.com/post/23993407448Tue, 29 May 2012 13:19:23 +0100in celebration: I'll put the kettle on in celebration: I'll put the kettle on<br /> in sorrow: I'll put the kettle on<br /> in anticipation: I'll put the kettle on<br /> in sympathy: I'll put the kettle on<br /> in dedication: I'll put the kettle on<br /> just because: I'll put the kettle on<br /> everyday: the kettle is onhttp://youknowyourebritishwhen.com/post/23991495386http://youknowyourebritishwhen.com/post/23991495386Tue, 29 May 2012 11:59:50 +0100you know you're british whenmebritainbritishteaJust 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 :)<p>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.</p> <p>I think it’s also just a bit fun, the same way Britons joke that all Americans are obese, although they are not.</p>http://youknowyourebritishwhen.com/post/23989291038http://youknowyourebritishwhen.com/post/23989291038Tue, 29 May 2012 10:18:00 +0100these took a good 45 minutes but are well worth it :D<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4qyx75bww1qks2j1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>these took a good 45 minutes but are well worth it :D</p>http://youknowyourebritishwhen.com/post/23987074315http://youknowyourebritishwhen.com/post/23987074315Tue, 29 May 2012 08:26:57 +0100nayariverax: remember when this thing was number #1 in the uk charts. <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://nayariverax.tumblr.com/post/23810515237/remember-when-this-thing-was-number-1-in-the-uk" target="_blank">nayariverax</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>remember when this thing was number #1 in the uk charts.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4n89ipSeP1r4qjia.jpg"/></p> </blockquote>http://youknowyourebritishwhen.com/post/23957347137http://youknowyourebritishwhen.com/post/23957347137Mon, 28 May 2012 23:39:07 +0100ykybwthe crazy frogEven 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.

It's not the Union Jack unless it's out on sea. It's called the Union Flag.<p>Apologies if I sound a bit condescending here but that is not true. The two can be use interchangeably. In 1908, Parliament stated that “<span>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.</span></p>http://youknowyourebritishwhen.com/post/23941054754http://youknowyourebritishwhen.com/post/23941054754Mon, 28 May 2012 19:20:00 +0100Sitting in the sun after a bike ride watching a game of bowls,...<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4qo2bxLS11qks2j1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>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.

"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.
