Whilst we're on the subject of American-bashing (or at least we were), Emma
sent me this earlier today. I forwarded it to everybody just so nobody can
accuse me of being anti-American. I'm quite happy to laugh at any country in
the world that has something to laugh at. This includes my own, so I found
this hilarious.
Subject: Only in Britain....
Only in Britain...can a pizza get to your house faster than an
ambulance...
Only in Britain...are there handicap parking places in front of a skating
rink...
Only in Britain...do Supermarkets make the sick people walk all the way to
the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can
buy cigarettes at the front.
Only in Britain...do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, 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 put our junk 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...do we buy hot dogs in packs of ten and buns in packs of
eight.
Only in Britain...do we use the word "politics" to describe the process of
Government. "Poli" in Latin meaning "many" and "tics" meaning
