Thank God I'm Cornish ...

BEING BRITISH.

Being British is about driving in a Japanese car to an Irish pub for a
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 don't forget, in this Great Britian you 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 A FEW OF THESE ...

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.

In the year 2000 eight Brits cracked their skull whilst throwing up into the toilet.

So am I proud to be CORNISH, you bet

If your one of these saddo's that 'must have' a real tree your mean't to water them so the needles don't fall off as centrally heated houses dry them out ...

It use to a be the recommended case that the tree was dug up & brought in on Christmas Eve, decorated & then put back out in the garden on Boxing Day

Fake tree's are just as good no matter what anyone says
