Only In Britain ...
I know this is quite old but still a good reminder to think before doing!* 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.
Isn't it a great country!!!
And out of all of those, the only one that made me thing 'ah, ouch, ooh' was No. 9!
