Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for
Belgian beer, then travelling 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 .. Why are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rink.

i think we brits all agree :D

Thats the globalism s*hit Judge :D



By the way, being Turkish is about driving in a French car to an English pub for
Danish beer, then travelling home, grabbing an American hamburger or an Italian pizza on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch Kurdish shows on a TV...Oh and talking with English neighbours while looking for the cars key :p
