A. Yes, there are definitely people here in the UK who can't handle anything spicier than gravy.

B. They're in the minority.

C. I refuse to believe you don't know someone like that, no matter where you're from.

My dad: Tumeric on potatoes is as "hot" as he can stand. Me, it's 5 Thai chillies ground up in the curry sauce, and since the coconut milk smooths out the heat I really could add a few more

And quite right. I had a friend who'd get the sweats eating sour candies and couldn't do anything even remotely chili.

I do know someone like that. Their mother was born in the UK and they grew up eating very English. They had zero tolerance for spice and I frequently had them whine that something I made was inedible because it was too spicy.
