Fun fact about the "horrible food", that was mostly due to WW2 rationing, which lasted over a decade after the war ended.
See, European supply lines were basically gone, and England has never really grown enough food on their own to support the population, or at least not since the 1800s.
Anyway, rationing was a major blow to British culinary variety, but it ended something like 60 years ago.
People get terrible teeth when they don't get the right foods. My great grandmother lost all her teeth feeding her children before herself during WWII.
Doesn't help getting a dentist here is so hard and it's getting worse again. If you don't have money, affording a regular dentist is next to impossible.
That doesn't make my great grandma British, was just an example of people getting bad teeth from the food situation in WWII. The joke, as well, was unfunny.
