Short hair, suit, doc martens, oblivious to everyone around him - especially of those of the foreigner persuasion... he sounds like a Brit!  |

Seriously, your stereotype is 300 years out of date!  |
Hey I saw it in Shanghai Knights, that's right Sherlock that's not much more than 100 years out of date.
Anyway it was me picking my nose, I got a red bean stuck up there earlier. Give us a break. |

I'm a bugger for picking my nose and live on line 6.
BUT - those clothes don't match my description and I'd never do something as disgusting as put the bolder in my hair. Far more preferable to roll it up for several minutes into a ball and then disgard said nasal mucus on the floor.
Form an orderly queue, ladies....  |

You have obviously been watching too much Austin Powers Einstein,
British people generally have nice teeth.
The British = bad teeth myth came from when ships from the UK docked statside during the colonial years and because of the lack of vitamin C all the British sailors would have rotten teeth and scurvy.
We ate lime (where the term 'limeys' come from) and it cured our scurvy and rotten teeth.
300 years out of date my simple American friend
It is obvious that Americans who have a majority obese population have bad teeth because a lot of junk food has sugar - sugar rots teeth - so Americans in general have worse teeth than the Brits! Q.E.D my simple septic friend! |

American?
Guess I must be more than a mile away from you.
Limes were first used to prevent scurvy in the 19th century, that's right Voderman how many years is that? |

Are you from the North West? whereabouts?
Scurvy was at one time common among sailors, pirates and others who were on ships that were out to sea longer than perishable fruits and vegetables could be stored and by soldiers who were similarly separated from these foods for extended periods. It was described by Hippocrates (c. 460 BC�c. 380 BC). Its cause and cure have been known in many native cultures since prehistory. For example, in 1536, the French explorer Jacques Cartier, exploring the St. Lawrence River, used the local natives' knowledge to save his men who were dying of scurvy. He boiled the needles of the arbor vitae tree (Eastern White Cedar) to make a tea that was later shown to contain 50 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams.[1][2] However it was a Scottish surgeon in the British Royal Navy, James Lind (1716�1794) who first proved it could be treated with citrus fruit in experiments he described in his 1753 book, A Treatise of the Scurvy.

I can tell an American a mile off from a Brit.
Did this feller have big baggy shorts or a basebll cap? whats was his hair like? Was he wearing sportswear of any kind?
|
Would the sports attire and baggy pants represent a Brit or American?
(I like that last one quite a bit)
Wouldn't a better judge be the extent to which the person is bald and how bad their teeth are? |

The sportswear would represent a typical Brit yob, football shirts, tracksuits, hackett etc is de riguer amongst chavs.
The above pics are very good examples, good job in finding them! 
baggy pants and basketball shirts wouldn't be ever worn by Brits.

I've just explained the false 'bad teeth' stereotype to one Einstein so don't you bloody start - we all have our fashion faux pas any Canadian who has a mullet and wears lumberjack shirts had just better shush! |

Actually it's from living on an island. When you have such a small population that can't spread out, you bring out deleterious genes, since the likelihood of two people with a double recessive 'bad' gene have a higher chance to meet. Notice what countries are known for having bad teeth. Those that are on islands. |

I've never met many Aussies with bad teeth, and they're living on an Island...
Anyway, it doesn't count when you start talking about 'islands' with huge populations, particularly an Island like Britain which has always had influxes of immigration, sometimes big (like in 1066), sometimes small, but always continuous. |
