Being British

[shepster]

Being British is about driving in a German car (surely not on this website!) 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 the Police or

an ambulance.

Only in Britain... do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way
to the back of the shop to get their chemist items, 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.

It's the 9v battery question that gets me, how do you die from testing a battery with your, ignoring that obvious swallowing danger.....
