Only in Britain...
 

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

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

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

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

I'd say thats more like a US kinda thing. They think that they won't get fat by ordering a diet coke.

:1orglaugh

Thats me :1orglaugh

Isn't a diet coke more dangerous than the original one?

huh?

What the fuck???

only in britain do we have the rugby world cup.

Almost all of that is the same in America

drink coke = get fat = die from heart attack
drink diet coke = get cancer

:glugglug

except maybe for the the ambulance part that all goes for the US as well.

I think I'd rather go quickly. :glugglug

How can you die from that?

I dunno.. give it a try ;)

Probably old people. You know what they're like.

Coronation Street starts 5 minutes late, they have a heart attack.

:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh it's all true.......:1orglaugh

i've seen this happen in Canada and the U.S.

Nice to know other countries are as bad as we are, and yeah the ambulance part is true. When my mom needed one we waited so long I finally gave up and took her myself.

:2 cents:

Actually, I do that...and it's not because I think that a diet coke will keep me thin, it's because regular coke is too sugary and I can feel it furring up the back of my teeth as I drink it. So, in the event I can't find Pepsi, I have diet coke.

WTF??

British Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cracker pulling accidents

Am I just not all the way awake, or does this make no sense? Is there another meaning for Cracker that I don't know?

Please enlighten

Cracker = Christmas cracker

A cracker is a thing 2 people pull at Christmas. It pops and you get a hat , a wee toy and a joke.

Hahaha:1orglaugh :thumbsup

And the Rugby World Cup RULES! We don't get much coverage in Canada, sadly.

LOL thanks! I wasn't even thinking of that, I even had one this Christmas and wore my hat too!

Breaking an arm over that? thats some funny stuff...

Hahahaha! :1orglaugh

:thumbsup

LOL -all those could easily be applied to America

If not ten times worse too...
Do these people have no common sense at all ???

doesn't seem like it, you'd have to be plain retarded to try that

LOLOLOLOLOL
