Why would they arrest you for that!! LOL seems like they would have better things to do!!!!It's the reason Austin Powers has bad teeth. The stereotype has a long history.cslewislover wrote:Lol. It's referring to British having bad teeth, I think. I mean, some stereotype. I never heard about it till I came to the board, actually, so I don't know where they make those jokes!
This is a scandalous stereotype! I might as well say that I was arrested at JFK for being below 21 stone!RickD wrote:Last week I was traveling across the pond, and arrived at Heathrow Airport.
