Bose 301 - don't make me laugh.

Of course, much as in dentistry, the British health care system is
*renown* as the standard for health care.

Just as Brits are *known* for their good teeth, so are they *known* for
their great medical system. Just as Brits are *known* the world over for
dental hygiene, so are they *known* for their health care. Certainly,
British dentistry and medicine go hand in hand.

I will go further Ian. I will state here now and for posterity that
British Martian Lander Technology is held in as much esteem as Brit
advances in dentistry and health care!

Yes, there you have it- an admission: Brits are far, far, advanced in
dentistry, health care and Martian Lander technology.


Much as I dislike responding to a Troll (Wingardium Leviosa is possibly
the right thing to say!), but I suggest the our Peter Spammon looks at
the proportion of the US population that still have there own teeth at
the age of 60, (not synthetic implants!), and compare that with the UK.

You might then want to stop drinking so much Coca-Cola over in 'Murrican
land when you see the discrepancy.

I don't mind my crooked, but healthy teeth, even if I do go for a dental
check-up only every 6 months.

I guess Bose is the same really. Bright and shining on the outside, but
rotten at the core.
