Being British

Postby BBB on Thu Jan 20, 2005 2:45 pm

Be proud to be British because...

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.

9 Brits have died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas
decorations were chocolates.

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............................

RULE BRITANNIA!!

Hi BBB

Thanks for cheering me up after a terrible day.

I was really fed up as my computer crashed on me and I have lost a weeks work. The hard drive was irrepairable and the bloody thing cost me over �200 to fix. To add to all that the computer is only six months old and still under warranty but I brought it from Turkey so the warranty isnt valid here.

Cry for me please!!!
