:blush::P Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a turkish kebab on the way to sit on Swedish furniture and watching American shows on a Japanese tv.

The most Bristish thing of all ? Being suspicious of anything foreign :jest:

Only in Britain can a pizza arrive at your house quicker than an ambulance.

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 street and lock our junk and cheap lawnmower in the garage.

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 their cigarettes at the front.

Only in Britain are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rink.

We might be British, but we have a sense of humour !! :P
