Default PROUD TO BE BRITISH!

Proud to be British

Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a
Belgian beer, then traveling 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.[sm=hiya.gif]

LOL there isnt much of that in my town. More of the high class crime. Some blokw that owned 2 Enzos and an SLR was done for something major and he fled the country (to england) and he always used to go to this club near my train station. I used to see his cars parked outsde there all the time. Then the cops got close so he packed up and shipped his cars to California. Then he crashed one of his Enzos in beverly hills (saw his car in 5 peices in top gear and a video of a news helecopter) lol.... and i read the story in the Top Gear mag... turns out it was him!!! lol. Small world eh?
