Thanks, I think I'll just go for the "Big Book of British Smiles" look instead ... ;-)
I have similar problems with my dentist. She thought it was absolutely hilarious when I told her that I'd have to wait a few extra weeks to save up the money to pay for the next appointment.

I think people in certain professions forget that not everyone makes as much money as they do.
