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 into the
toilet.

one of the reasons why the nazi's (not often mentioned) failed on the eastern front was due to 'vorsprung durch technik' (if my understanding of the translation is correct Roll Eyes), german engineering was too precise with low tolerance levels and high levels of complication, their engines wouldnt work. whereas the russian engines were much more basic with vast ranges of tolerance letting them fire up with no real problem.  
similar robust basic technology was used in the design of the AK47, making them easy to dismantle and clean and reliable....
