Only In Britain

saw this in The Sunday Express a few months and thought i would share
it with you.....

Only in Britain.....can a pizza get to your house faster than
an ambulance.


Only in Britain.....do chemists make the sick walk all the way to
the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people
can buy chocolate bars at the front.

Only in Britain.....do people order double cheeseburgers,large
fries and a Diet Coke.

Only in Britain.....do banks leave doors open and chain the pens
to the counters.

Only in Britain.....do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the drive and put our rubbish in the garage.

Only in Britain.....do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we wont miss a call from someone we didnt want to talk to in the first place.

Only in Britain.....do we buy hotdogs in cans of 10 and buns
in packs of 8.

Only in Britain.....do three people die each year testing a 9 volt battery on their tongues to see if it works.

Only in Britain.....were 142 men injured in a single year beacuse they didnt remove all the pins from new shirts.

Only in Britain.....are 58 people injured every year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers.

Only in Britain.....have 31 people died since 1996 because they watered their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.

Only in Britain.....can 18 people in a single year suffer serious burns trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth.

Only in Britain.....are more than 200 people a year are admitted to A+E after opening bottles of beer with their teeth.
