this was sent to me...true true!
Being British is about driving in a German car
to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer,
then grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way home,
to sit on Swedish furniture
and watch American shows on a Japanese TV.
And the most British thing of all?
Suspicion of all things foreign!
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.
