Hey Mate. Not to everyone no, but 50% of our workforce is receiving state aid now. All these grim headlines got me thinking about how little I really understood and I've just ended up writing a post on it sir. The future is looking grim over here in the land of bad teeth and cups of tea.

I'm sorry to hear that sir skunkape30uk. About the grim looking future. I also didn't know that it was the land of bad teeth. Is that for real?

I'm glad you posted, I'll go check it out!

Its a stereotype of the British, think of any cartoons you see of British people and they'll normally have buck or uneven teeth. We have NHS dentists but their main aim is to prevent decay and pain at a reasonable cost for all. It costs a fair bit of money to whiten and straighten your teeth, so many people don't have the option. Post WWI & WWII we lost a large amount of our nations men, this lead to a weaker and reduced gene pool and sadly bad teeth.

Howdy sir skunkape30uk! I knew about the tremendous losses in the big wars but didn't think about it weakening the gene pool, very interesting and sad indeed!
