Not realistic but a stereotype non the less.
My stereotypes of Englishmen come from American comedy. On one show (I forget which), The character thought that all English people lived in castles and drank tea all day. Another one (Family Guy) showed all Englishmen to have terrible teeth. There may be some truth in this - I for one have a smile that slightly resembles a broken piano, so perhaps best that I stay away from the place, lest I reinforce this stereotype.
Having said that, I'm nothing like as bad as that old "chavs' choice" The Jeremy Kyle Show. Maybe this gets aired in US in the same way that we get Jeremy Springer. When I go in the tool shop for a new saw, I always tell them my old saw has less teeth than the Jeremy Kyle Show, and no doubt they inwardly groan.
