    Only in Britain

    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 2008 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 2009 trying on a new jumper with a lit
    cigarette in their mouth.



    A massive 543 Brits (All Welsh) 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.

    I bet Theres Loads more you can think of.

            I don't get all that Diet Coke lark. Oh my God, they've just bought a ridiculously unhealthy meal and commited the cardinal sin of getting a Diet, yes, DIET! Coke to go with it.

            Does anyone ever consider that Diet Coke does infact have a nicer flavour than Coca Cola? That drinks makes my tongue feel like it's hairy and I can literally feel my teeth corrode with it in my god.

                    The reason the banks leave the doors open, while chaining the pens is : it seems the taxpayer replaces the money, but lost pens come out of the profits.
                    Only in Britain, I have found is; when you go to give blood, they ask,' are you well'. I feel like saying - no, I have come here because I am sick.

                        being British is about driving ni a german car to an irish pub for a belgian beer, then grabbing an indian curry or turkish kebab on the way home, to sit on a swedish sofaand watch USA shows on a japanese tv. OH, and being suspicious about anything foreign.

                          Yes, I much prefer the flavour of Diet Coke to Coca Cola and struggle to remember a time when I actually did like the taste of Coca Cola. I should add that this has plagued me for years as nobody ever believed me when I said I preferred the taste. I always feel like I need to brush my teeth immediately whenever I've drunk Coca Cola.
