The caption on this Yahoo photo was odd enough that I wonder if it may not disappear in the near future, so rather than simply linking to it, I figured I’d grab a quick screenshot and post it also.
A British hooligan in the streets of Belgium. The typical Briton is polite, witty and phlegmatic, but lacks a certain style and has a dental hygiene issue while having an occasional drinking problem.
Slow day, maybe? A caption writer a little too bored on the job? Some humorous filler text that accidentally got approved? There’s no real way of knowing, unfortunately.

Update: Apparently, the caption has something to do with a survey of what other nations think of the Brits.

“World’s Made Up of This and That, The (Fatboy Slim)” by Deeds Plus Thoughts from the album Fatboy Slim’s Greatest Remixes (2000, 5:48).

One of the stupidest captions I have come across. Thanks for pointing this out because I read Yahoo! News and this might bring an end to it.
Phew… lucky it was only a soft Brittish hooligan being put down and not a Scottish hooligan or somebody would’ve been glassed by now. (This leads to the distinctive ‘Glasgow Smile’ scar.)
A bit of trivia, one of the main actors in Braveheart has a ‘Glasgow smile’ as well as several of the extras…
