Being British
Being British is about driving in a German car 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 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 way
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.
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 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'm glad I'm Irish!
Sheesh, sorry to say it, but being American, some of things are not only British. Double Cheeseburgers, Fries and Diet Coke is our invention. Open bank doors, and chained pens we do it too. Prescriptions in the back, smokes in the front? - yep. Junk in garage, car in the driveway? - yep. Disabled spaces at skating rinks? - yep. Most of these fit us too. I am sure that we crack our heads on the little white porcelain throne too.
Good to find your blog.
Phil from Salem,
Cymru am byth! ;-)
my mother gave herself two black eyes with the toilet once. she was about to be sick and she flung back the lid a bit too hard. it bounced back and hit her on the top of her nose, square between the eyes.
