I am soooo tired after my travels... here is something my mum sent me that I found hiarious. I still have a week here in the states so I'm missing my man who left this morning, I am going to type up our travel log too....
Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for aBelgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or aTurkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch Americanshows 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 anambulance.
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 tothe 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 askating 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 newshirts.
58 Brits are injured each year by using sharp knives instead ofscrewdrivers.
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 Christmasdecorations were chocolate.British Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after Xmascracker-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 trying to open 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 were admitted to hospital with fractured skullsincurred whilst throwing up into the toilet.
