I would advocate fluoridation of Coke, but as a longtime beneficiary of the pediatric-dental complex, I keep quiet. Also,

Crippling disease, tooth decay, and mental illness. The price of freedom.

There's a graph somewhere on this forvm where the slope of increasing enamel integrity in Wales over time is compared to the relative gaiety of San Francisco. From 1952 onward, the lines are exactly superimposed...which itself is an apt word.

Dental health had a huge uptick in France when they flouridated cigarettes and white bandanas. This was in the 1970s at the height of mime. - B

BTW, my Dad was a dentist who, incidentally, served in Britain in World War II and observed
the then poor state of British teeth.

I know and my grandfather once remarked to me about how fat he found people in the USA. I am sure these cheap stereotypes all have a grain of truth.

We are relatively fat. Not me nor mine though.

So you use James Robertson Justice as your avatar to prove that the exception that proves
the rule that Brits are relatively thin ( with bad teeth, of course)?

The Sart's comments Polo with a suit? That's tricky. Too often it comes off as Master Champ. I think the real key is to wear polo as sleek as the suit. The next critical question would then be, collar in or out?

he looks fine but here is the thing that we miss sometimes when looking at these pics and passing judgement. He is a very good looking guy. He has a certain "look" (the hair, the facial hair etc). He works in the clothing business. Due to this, he can wear things most people cannot. Given his looks and build, he will look good pretty much regardless. Given that he works in a clothing store, he can wear a polo under a suit and have it looked as sprezzatura. Most of us cannot. Don't try to be him. You are not him.

His trousers are seriously high rise

and it works for him because he seems to have zero belly fat and a long upper body. I'd wear that outfit and look like an absolute schmuck. The other thing is, professional photography also adds a lot to a fit.

^^ I dont like them. They are too high rise in IMO. Reminds me of the NY guy who has the 18" rise

on that guy, there is almost no chest left above his pant waist. On this guy, you see about the same amount of shirt that you see on others. They are both short guys but it looks better on this guy.

Scott Schuman is a professionial photographer in the same way that Rachael Ray is a professional chef.

I'm convinced that there is a good joke in that analogy somewhere.
