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 theiy 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 the doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.

Only in Britain.. We do leave cars, worth thousands of pounds on the drive, and lock our junk and cheap and old lawnmower in the garage.

Only in Britain.. There are disabled parking spaces in front of a skating rink.

Only in Britain….do we use the word “politics” to describe the process of
Government. “Poli” in Latin meaning “many” and “tics” meaning “bloodsucking
creatures”

Only in Britain….do we buy hotdogs in packs of ten and buns in packs of eight

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 in the
first place

3 people die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue

142 people were injured in 1998 by not removing all pins from new shirts

58 people are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers

31 people have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy
lights were plugged in

19 people have died in the last three years believing that Christmas decorations
were chocolate

Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cracker pulling accidents

101 people since 1997 have had to have broken parts of plastic toys pulled out of
the soles of their feet

Only in Britain is a soldier badly injured in war is given just £120,000 whereas a typist in the RAF who "injured" her little finger is awarded £500,000.

Only in Britain do the human rights of criminals take precedence over their victims.
