We received this, below, from our good friend Marina (also a Brit), who says it ‘tickled her’. (Thanks for the socks, Jammy!)
Being British is about driving in a German car to an
Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then traveling home,
grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish Kebab on the way
to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows
on a Japanese TV.
And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of
anything foreign.
Oh and…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 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 to the 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 then have call waiting so we won’t
miss a call from someone we didn’t want to talk to in
the first place.
Only in Britain… are there disabled parking places
in front of a skating rink.
NOT TO MENTION…
