Found this....thought you might like some useless facts.
BE VERY PROUD TO BE BRITISH BECAUSE...
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...
3 Brits die each year testing if a 9v battery works on
their tongue.
142 Brits were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins
from new shirts.
58 Brits are injured each year by using sharp knives
instead of screwdrivers.
31 Brits have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas
tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.
19 Brits have died in the last 3 years believing that
Christmas decorations were chocolate.
British Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after
cracker pulling accidents.
101 people since 1999 have had broken parts of plastic toys
pulled out of the soles of their feet
18 Brits had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper
with a lit cigarette in their mouth.
A massive 543 Brits were admitted to A&E in the last two
years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth.
5 Brits were injured last year in accidents involving out
of control Scalextric cars.
And finally.........
In 2000 eight Brits cracked their skull whilst throwing up
the Toilet............................
