Supralookin Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Be proud to be British! 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 banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters. 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. 142 Brits were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new shirts. 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. 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&E 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. RULE BRITANNIA!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I once tried to pull a nail out of a piece of wood with my front teeth. Likewise, I won't be doing that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roboldham Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Sorry to be a stick in the mud, but I actually LIKE Britain - I AM proud to be British and miss old blighty dearly when I travel. I love the British mentality, the dry sense of humour, enjoy some of the world's best music, television, writers, film makers, comedians not to mention many other forms of creative output. We also have per capita the highest concentration of top scientists and engineers# and academic institutions although they are often not respected by the government. We live in a free society, some would say too free - and that makes people complacent. The "nanny state" that everyone whinges on about is purely a function of peoples laziness - merely reflected at government level. If you dont like it then stop moaning, do something about it or fek off to the Costa Brava or somewhere! R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chiefvinso Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 So I take it you are proud to be british then!! lol We dont live in a free society, I pay taxes etc - other people might live in a free society. BTW I'm not dissing Britain and I think this thread is just for a laff as the most if not all quotes made are carried out by lots of people all over the world.
