Your accent reminds me of my stepmother's, she was born in St. Albans (Wessex?), and moved to America when she was 18. Maybe it's softened a bit from hanging with Americans and Canadians. Anyway, it's very lovely, and friendly, and all that stuff. Actually, Cameron's accent isn't the normal Arkansas accent either, he might be from the western part, bordering Kansas, his accent sounds more mid-western. Wisconsin native here, we're a lot like Arkansas concerning most things, but we consume alcohol like the Germans, Irish, and British do. Even a small town in Wisconsin with 100-200 people will have at least a church and a bar, usually across the street from each other.

Honestly, when I think of “extremely polite and say sorry” a lot, I think of Canada, not Britain. Stereotypically, my image of Brits is more that they strictly follow the social niceties, but are kind of condescending, especially toward Americans. Similar to how those in the Southern US can “politely” say “bless your heart”, while actually meaning “you’re an idiot.” Again, stereotypically. Not as a rule. Lauren is perpetually charming .

As some one from the South, using saying "bless your heart" to insult some one is very much just a Dallas/Texas thing that doesn't exist in the actual South especially the Deep South. In the Deep South, it's used to genuinely show that you care about what some one is going through or to show pity about some one's circumstances. Only time it's not used genuinely is when you're joking with friends. Most people in the deep south would have zero issue just insult you straight out if they wanted to actually insult you. I mean Southerners generally aren't known to be passive about anything which is another reason why I don't understand why non-southerners believe the whole 'bless your heart' is actually an insult thing. Honestly, it's upsetting that it's still being spread around because so many non-southerners think it's true and then think we're insulting them when we're actually just showing genuine concern.

The whole 'bad teeth' slur directed at Brits is a stab at the NHS, who provide free dental care -but mostly not cosmetic (though you'll still get braces as a kid) -and whose dental association upholds dental health as premier before any looks. From dental data Brits actually have normally aligned / misaligned teeth as anywhere else (actually a shade better than the US in terms of referrals for misalignment). He's right though that super-white teeth is not common in the UK, and is actually seen as a bit fake eg the 'Jodie Marsh smile'. Big teeth whitening formula and ingredients are actually banned in the UK as they're dangerous/ detrimental to health, only the more gentle ones are allowed.

My theory about the teeth thing is that in Britain people with less than perfect teeth are on television a lot more than they are here in the US. And it's not just that you have celebrities like Jeremy Clarkson, a striking example was the first American attempt to remake the TGBBO, there was an older woman who had very obviously gotten veneers for the show who was eliminated the first week. We also have poor access to dentists, but everyone on television has perfect, white teeth.

About the teeth thing. IIRC, the practice of adding sodium fluoride to water was started by Alcoa (ALuminum Corporation Of America) as a way to use sodium fluoride biproducts produced by processing Aluminum. So the practice of fluoridating water would have started in the US a decent amount of time before it started in the UK. So our tap water helps remineralize our teeth. Probably helps make up for the all the sugar in our food. In fact, I would bet that the sugar industry had something to do with this as well. Kinda like McDonalds sponsoring athletic events to shift the blame of obesity to physical activity more than diet. They started this practice after a study came out showing diet has a much larger effect on weight than physical activity.

The lady is correct, the British generally have better dental health and overall healthcare than we do in the US, but here in the US there is a lot more of a Cosmetic dental industry. So braces and teeth straightening and teeth whitening services are much more prevalent in the US, things that don't really impact dental health but are more aesthetically pleasing. Just another example of the backwards priorities we need to try to fix in this country.

The thing with bad teeth is that the NHS will only give you braces if it’s a medical issue. If there’s nothing wrong and you just want them to look nicer then the NHS won’t cover it because it’s a cosmetic issue not a medical one. Similar to how the NHS won’t pay for you to get plastic surgery unless it’s part of a recovery from an injury and even then it’s not often. In my case I got braces but it wasn’t medical so the NHS didn’t pay for them and my parents had to pay out of pocket. It was really expensive so it’s not surprising that people would choose not to or maybe not even consider it in the first place.

Q, What's the opposite of a near queue? A, A far Queue...lol

The cat has got on the piano again, can you stop her because I can't concentrate!

Someone forgot to tell Gordon Ramsay that Brits aren’t confrontational and don’t show their emotions. 😂 My family doesn’t serve alcohol at gatherings however my friends who are Catholics do and drink like fish. I don’t care for their traditional dishes. Not enough seasoning for my taste buds. If I ever go back to the UK, I’m packing some Tony Chachere’s

Chefs usually are shouting because you have kitchen equipment making noise with dishwasher,taps,ovens,pans,chopping,server’s speaking,POS system printing’s noise as well. In Retail if you’re on checkout it’s noisy from beeping & odd Kids screaming here & there.

@@NicholasJH96 That makes sense. But Gordon curses 🤬 everybody slam out. I find it hilarious 😂 as entertainment because obviously the contestants know what they are getting into. I like Master Chef and Kitchen Nightmares too and he’s a lot nicer on those shows. I don’t think most retail stores are that noisy unless it’s the holiday season but it might depend on where you live and shop. I tend to go to smaller stores and boutiques.

🇬🇧 If you eat in touristy places, you aren’t going to sample the best food, quite the reverse. You need to make an effort and travel away from the hotspots for decent grub or pubs. When we visit anywhere new, in the UK or abroad, we always ask the locals to recommend places to eat and drink, and this has always worked out for us.

I think the British teeth thing is a canard -- not true. I have never met a British person with bad teeth. On accents, I don't think many Americans can distinguish very many of them from others. Any British accent is considered sophisticated. The appreciation is so fundamental that advertisers use British accents to sell higher-end products, because Americans associate British accents with luxury,

Lauren I'm here from the uk and I can say you sound posh. I can't place your accent but if you're from near Liverpool you definitely sound posh comparatively.

Singaporeans are the best queuers, everytime they see a long queue, they just queue first, they don't even ask when the queue is about until they're halfway down the the queue

The British actually have healthier teeth than Americans, but we don't obsess over cosmetic appearance in the same way.

No I would say we do have worse teeth overall as we are not in to going to see a professional for everything like the Americans do

The stereotype is not so much MODERN British, but the Brits from 100 years ago. Go back to 1900 and the jokes of Brits having teeth like old tomb stones were prevalent. Remember, some stereotypes have outlived their truths, such as London always being foggy, when today the pollution is so low in the city that there is hardly any fog at all.

I think it's an old stereotype, but possibly there is something genetic related to British teeth? I'm American, but almost totally British heritage, and had really crooked teeth with gaps and a bad overbite as child. My parents paid to send me to an orthodontist when I was 8 years old back in 1984. It cost my parents thousands of dollars (back in the 80s - today it would be much more), and I went through torture with a Frankel, bite openers, head gear, and other devices, in addition to braces (had those for 5 years). All of that was cosmetic and did nothing as far as the health of my teeth - I'm 45 years old and my teeth might look great, but as much as I take care of them, I've got low bone density in the gums, and as much as I can brush and floss, I still have to see a periodontist as well as a regular dentist every 6 months just to keep things up. Anyway, I definitely agree that it's likely Brits actually have healthier teeth overall though. A lot of Americans cannot afford even routine dental care, which the NHS would cover. On top of the ridiculous cost of healthcare in the US, most workplace health insurance plans in the US doesn't even cover dental care.

I've heard that flossing on a daily basis is less stressed in the UK (not sure if that's true) but other than that like you said, I think Americans are just more likely to ask for cosmetic dental procedures over the slightest imperfections. Drinking tea...specially black tea & coffee is notorious for discoloring the enamel of the teeth so a lot of Americans are also obsessed with drinking out of straws.
