Probably been seen before but im up for repeats ! ;) LOL

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.


I am proud to be British (We might be British but hell we're funny !!)
 
:agree:

be proud of who you are..
 
damn we are all screwed up!
 
I'm English. My family has been at least as far back as the mid 1700's.
I drive a European car built by an American company in Belgium, but alot of people would have assumed they were built in England. In fact there are probably some that still do.
I don't eat takeaways, I don't drink beer, My TV is English. If I had a garage my car would be kept in it sadly I have to park it in the street where other people can scrape the bumpers or try to smash off the door mirror. :(
 
I cringed 'cos they are all so bloody close to the mark it is scarey ... :eek:


And no-one is complaining about the repeat factor Ian ... ;) ... Not seen all of them at any rate ... :D

Old but still :lol: and true :D

Having read this before (still funny by the way) I actually found myself in McDonalds asking for the Big Mac Meal, and when asked which drink I wanted I had to laugh at myself for wanting the diet coke.

The response from the person with me when I told them was "well it all helps" :lol:

I guess I'm not alone with this one though.
 
Well, in that case, you need to come up with a new President for us. :bat:

Oh come on - with Michael moving to Germany, Bubbles must need a new job? Not exactly a high bar to reach :D
 
For a few moments I thought you guys have all relocated to South Africa and then I realised that we, too, were a british colony till recently:bonk: :lol:
