“England has the worst beer in the world; nasty, warm, sticky stuff with various forms of pond life in it...” John Cleese from 1982 commercial
I was talking to someone at work who recently stayed with relatives in England, and was surprised when she told me sometimes her mother’s food tasted like soap because her family didn’t rinse dishes after washing them — they just set them in a rack to dry. She said everyone does it that way in England. Is that really true? Wouldn’t eating soap be bad for you?

Always rinse dishes. It's a pet hate.
Dirty pikeys can be found the World over.
However, the British are not known for their good teeth.

I don’t wish to be disrespectful. However, a country that gives its traditional dishes names such as ‘toad-in-the-hole,’ ‘bubble and squeak,’ and ‘spotted dick’ isn’t setting itself a high bar.

if Brits don't rinse their dishes do they rinse themselves off in the shower?

Pond life's fine after it's been rinsed in malt and seasoned with yeast.
Some of the finest brews in the Hitory Of The World come from the UK.
Cleese even said that and made a movie to proove it.
