Proud to be British
Posted: Thu Jun 22, 2006 8:25 am
Being British is about driving in a German car to
an Irish pub
for a
Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an
Indian curry or
a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish
furniture and watch
American shows on a Japanese TV.
And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of
anything
foreign.
Oh and......
Only in Britain... can a pizza get to your house
faster than an
ambulance.
Only in Britain... do supermarkets make sick
people walk all
the way to the back of the shop to get their
prescriptions while healthy
people can buy cigarettes at the front.
Only in Britain... do people order double
cheeseburgers, large
fries
and a DIET coke.
Only in Britain... do banks leave both doors open
and chain the
pens to the counters.
Only in
Britain... do we leave cars worth thousands of
pounds on the
drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in
the garage.
Only in Britain... do we use answering machines to
screen calls and
then have call waiting so we won't miss a call
from someone we
didn't want to talk to in the first place.
Only in Britain... are there disabled parking
places in front
of a skating
rink.
NOT TO MENTION..
3 Brits die each year testing if a 9v battery
works on their
tongue.
142 Brits were injured in 1999 by not removing all
pins from
new shirts
58 Brits are injured each year by using sharp
knives instead of
screwdrivers
31 Brits have died since 1996 by watering their
Christmas tree while
the fairy lights were plugged in.
19 Brits have died in the last 3 years believing
that Christmas
decorations were chocolate.
British Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after
cracker pulling accidents.
101 people since 1999 have had broken parts of
plastic toys
pulled out of the soles of their feet.
18 Brits had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new
jumper with
a lit
cigarette in their mouth.
A massive 543 Brits were admitted to A&E in the
last two years after
opening bottles of beer with their teeth.
5 Brits were injured last year in accidents
involving out of control
Scalextric cars. and finally.........
In 2000 eight Brits cracked their skull whilst
throwing up into
the toilet
I am proud to be British
IF YOU'RE PROUD TO BE BRITISH THEN YOU'LL REPOST
