Being English is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, and 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 English thing of all is suspicion of anything foreign.
Only in England ...
-
can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
-
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.
-
do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a DIET coke.
-
do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters.
-
do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.
-
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.
-
are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rink.
Except I’m not so sure this is ‘only England’.
