I saw this at work today and found it amusing.

You can be proud to be British because...

Only in Britain do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions, while healthy people can buy cigerettes at the front. :x

Only in Britain do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a DIET coke. :wink:

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 on the drive and lock up the junk and cheap lawnmower in the garage.


Not to mention ...

18 Brits had burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a 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. 8O

5 Brits were injured last year in accidents involving out of control scalextric cars. weeeeeee!!!

In 2000 8 brits cracked their skull while throwing up in the toilet. Ouch!!
