"I heard many years ago that the British consume much candy - could that be true?

Candy plus minimal toothbrushing - well - - -"

All I know is what I saw on the BBC...a documentary called "Britain's Worst Teeth." It followed several people in their twenties whose teeth were so rotten they couldn't eat without pain.

One of the girls had a habit of eating sugar right out of the bag. She told the dentist she had no idea she was supposed to brush the inside of her teeth.

Just look at Kate's teeth. Beautiful and white, that should be on a 40 year old woman.

Oh, come on now. Next thing you’re going to claim is that they don’t all clump around in wooden shoes in Amsterdam...

Yes.
I pretend he is Irish born and bred, lol.

I am not a fan of the Pogues except for one song. And grew up in the 80’s when they used to spout pro-IRA drivel at concerts.

In Colombia the comments about people from the UK are not so polite LOL. Bad teeth, they stink and no manners LOL.

Honestly, I've heard the same of "Spaniards" in Colombia.

..and the highest male mortality rate in Europe:

Mystery of Glasgow's health problems | Society | The Guardian www.theguardian.com › Society › Health The Guardian Nov 6, 2012 - Glasgow has a reputation for ill health, but that alone can't explain Scotland's largest city's shocking mortality rates. ... or suicide, Glasgow's mortality rates are easily the highest in Britain, and among the highest in Europe.
