Oh dear! Just to clarify a few things. "Prussianblue" This seemingly perverse idea that we Brits have bad teeth, is I think one that should be changed. Since we have a national health service which is absolutely free to everyone we do tend to visit our dentists very often. Or perhaps you were referring to the American habit of insisting that teeth should look like white marble tomb stones? And "Mop top" Every one has an accent. Yes, even you Americans! And I am a coffee drinker. And yes I do say "Bloody' a lot. it's punctuation!

English we know as the International Language does not belong to Britain, it has transformed to become a true IL by incorporations from all other languages.
It is said that in London, for instance, English is spoken differently from street to street and maybe it is difficult for people there to communicate each other clearly!

They say "Well you had bloody well do it or else !!" (Bloody being the word emphasized here...Brits use that word quite often). They like to drink hot tea a lot. They have beautiful and intelligent sounding accents.

A vague (sometimes not-so-vague) sense of superiority.
