I wouldn’t be caught dead in a German car. I’ve never been to an Irish pub my life, I go to either Wetherspoon’s in town or my local village pub which is a Yorkshire pub (Samuel Smith’s), and I drink Yorkshire bitter, Smith’s brewery from Smith’s obviously or I partake in the locally brewed Real Ale at the ‘Spoons. However, I do enjoy a vindaloo – which is not infact an Indian dish, but a British-modified Goan dish brought back by the Portuguese, ‘aloo’ meaning potato, the dish is more British than Indian, you won’t find any true Indian that eats vindaloo – would you want to eat it in that heat? My furniture is made in the village furniture shop down the road, hand made, it keeps the old man and his son in business and I can’t stand American shows. I’m watching On The Buses right now on DVD. However, can’t get around the foreign tele bit. Although it was made in Hong Kong, not Japan.

And the most British thing of all?
Suspicion of anything Foreign.

That’s not true, in many nations, especially in the middle-east or sub-Sahara, anything strange or ‘foreign’ is treat with a lot of suspicion. So much suspicion that it’s usually beheaded or culled in one form or another.

Only in Britain . Can a pizza get to your house Faster
than an ambulance.

Took 5 minutes for an ambulance to get to my house when I rang up with severe pains in my chest and sides. Took 40 minutes for my 16″ ham, pineapple & pepperoni pizza to arrive from 1 mile down the road on Saturday.

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.

That’s not true. In the Tescos in town the pharmacist is right next to the entrance, and the cigarette counter is near the beer aisle, at the other end.

Only in Britain . Do People order double cheeseburgers, large fries
and a DIET coke.

Think you’ll find America beats us hands down on that one.

Only in Britain . Do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens
to the Counters.

Again untrue. It was the same when I went to Canada, when I went to France – and I’ve seen it on American TV, too, with the pens chained down. Besides, my local bank always has its doors closed.

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.

To be fair most people in Britain aren’t lucky enough to have a garage, considering the majority of society our council estate tenants. I have a garage, but I tend to leave my garden tools in the garden shed. I think any country you go to you’ll see cars parked on the street. I find it very difficult to believe that ‘only in Britain’ are there cars on the street.

Infact there’s so many of these inaccuracies, fallacies and plain down right lies I honestly can’t be bothered to reply to every single one so I’ll leave it there!

Britain – Home to the BNP who send leaflets through Peoples doors saying how they have the right to ask for ‘mass immigration’ and then list wars that included many young indian men and other races who fought and died for our country.

Britain – Where someone can wear a suit, claim they have grown up and changed their life around, but spend their time slating and putting others down, like a child in a playground.

At the end of the day the Forumhosts here are mostly fair, and try not to take sides or allow personal feelings to get in the way.

I suppose in a hypothetical situation you could end up getting a powermad, rogue Forumhost who gets high and mad on the power they’re given, but I havent seen any of that here on this site, so well done.

Licky Arse!

stripey……..yes, it is my choice to join the army, i accept that, and no at this particular moment i am not “fighting” for my country, but i have been in for 22yrs, and have done on many occasions, and can be called away again at a moments notice, my choice, my life, my country, i love it………however, my point mearly was, all these idiots in here who want to fight, argue, bicker and put ppl down, need to look at the bigger picture. i know there are countless unsung heroes in other jobs, i do not deny that. equaly that also is their choice. ppl who work for peanuts and complain, well…….before you sign the dotted line, if you arent happy with the wage, don’t freckin sign it !!!!! this is a chat room, why do people insist on arguing, putting ppl down ect ect, ppl they don’t know from adam, ppl they probably have never or will never meet?? the online gangsters make me angry, sitting behind their keyboards playing the big i am. i am mearly saying, if they thrive on action and hosilities, then go do something were you’d get it, and get paid for it……..the army. yes its a choice, one which i made and do not regret. i do what i need to do, and thats it, i don’t whinge about my pay or equiptment. i whinge about the pettiness of some ppl in here, when i have seen 1st
hand how bad the “real” world is, and they should ask themselves……..is it worth it??

You don’t have to be in the army to to see how bad the ‘real’ world is.
My son once mentioned about joining the army.. I told him not over my dead body.
If he was fighting for our country and it was another ‘world war 2 scenario’ and it was a matter of life and death for our country as we know it, then maybe… but to send young lads out to risk their lives for another mans greed and power .. hell no!!!
