    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 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
    Not an expert, I only try to help.

    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.
