We should all be very 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...

Interesting statistics. Not so sure about 9 volt batteries though.

Actually 'already' definately isn't the right word.

This Britain of yours, it sounds quite a bit like America.

Let me clear up the diet coke part (because I am anal). I order a value meal with diet because I am diabetic. Fat is bad for everyone, but sugar is much worse for me. Also, if i don't get lung cancer then I at least better get it from the saccharin.

very interesting, but I really don't thinks that it's "only brits" you were just describing things that happen over here in the states, too... but like I said, very interesting, and it did make me smile.

You either ripped this off or were bored enough to research it all. But parts did amuse.
