Are the teeth designed for cross cut or rip cut? Or are they cross cut with flat faces in the direction of cutting?

The saw arrives with teeth filed for cross cutting. Spear and Jackson markets this saw as all purpose rip and crosscutting and the saw will indeed do both well. The teeth are easily modified to a rip pattern if you have a saw file. One last thing to keep in mind is that these saws are frequently over-set, meaning the teeth are set a bit too far perpendicular to the blade. This problem can be rectified in a matter of seconds by tapping the teeth between two hammer heads along the length of the blade. With 10 minutes of work re-sharpening and relaxing the set, the saw will perform rip cuts or crosscuts as well as saws that cost 3 times as much.

Is this saw made in uk or taiwan like spear and jackson saws?

I've researched this issue with a different English brand saw. It boils down to the legal definition of "country of origin". While the product meets the English definition to be labeled "Made in England", the manufacturing process fails meet the standards set by the United States to label England as the country of origin and be sold in the United States as "Made in England". therefore they must identify Taiwan as the country of origin. So both answers are correct depending on the country they are being sold in. FYI: to be labeled "Made In The USA" all phases of an items production must have take place in the United States.
