My 'Inner European' might be Dutch but i'm proud to be British!!

Here are a few reasons foreigners may think were a little strange.. however i firmly believe you should be proud of your Country!!

  • 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 tothe 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 thenhave call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want totalk to in the first place.
  • Only in Britain... are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rink
