Lol......Lilly

nudging this cos it is SOOOO funny - just the ticket to brighten up your Sunday afternoon.

PMSL at how the English are portrayed....and in American movies the baddie is always always a Gor Blimey Guv'nor Brit.

Everyone in Albert Square thinks there is only one foreign country in the whle wide world - Spain. To them, 'abroad' is Spain, and Spain only.
Going on holiday? go to Spain.
Running away from deranged hubby, mad wife, or the Mitchell's? go to Spain.
You are a Mitchell? go to Spain.
Moving away to start a new life? go to Spain.
Crikey, can't someone buy the producers a world atlas with Spain blanked out?

another well used phrase 'we need to talk'

You know when the characters are visiting London, because you keep seeing Tower Bridge, the locals all say 'Gor blimey, Guv!', eat jellied eels, and sing jolly songs about dancing on tables and boiling carrots...

one of the most used phrases....................''i'm/we're out of here'' another................its gonna blow..........!!! Bob

American highways always have barrells of water on them which sooner or later will get crashed into! American families always have a golden labrador.

A defibrilator is the most overused piece of hospital equipment. It never works first time. They should realy start on a high setting. People always J walk across a road. In a car chase they always hit the fruit stall. If an aeroplane belongs to a real company especially boeing it is not going to crash. No one ever says they don't like cocacola.

hee hee, Trish, that reminded me, remember when''trimphones'' were the IN thing? well covering the mouthpiece didnt work with them, the other end could hear what was said,quite clearly, anyway........LOL

When ever anyone is doing housework they are only ever polishing the top a of table. When anyone answers the phone they will take ages to explain who is on the line to the person standing next to them with their hand over the mouthpiece.

People walk into dark places with torches that are at least 5 million candle power. Len

American cars are indestructable (unless they explode) They can take off on a hump bridge, fly through the air, and land on their noses so hard the whole car bends up - 2 seconds later they are still driving at high speed with no apparent damage. Bob

Detectives.....during the days they take to solve a major crime, they don't get hungry or thirsty or have to go to the loo, neither do they sleep much.
However, if they do find food, having not eaten for 3 days, they take one wee bite and push the rest away.
If they do eventually get to bed, the phone always wakes them and they manage to answer it within 2 rings, speaking coherently with just a tiny stifled yawn. They always say 'On my way', leaping out of bed and arriving back at the crime scene in 2 seconds flat.
Their mobile phones never go flat, nor does it ever have to be charged.
Their car never runs out of petrol, gets a flat tyre or breaks down.

And they always seem to know where they're going.

Police lieutenants are always black. Everyone can find a parking space Police always have their sirens on when they try to sneak up on the bad guy. The indians ride round in circles until they get shot. Horses can pull a stagecoach for miles at a gallop without working up a sweat. Whenever you get romantic there is always a handy orchestra No American ever has to lock his car English cars are either Rolls Royces or tiny.

Never ever p**** Off an American Trucker!!!

No one ever shaves. It always remains short at the stubble stage.

Years of training in the SAS with 1000's of different guns, expertise in bomb disposal, and training into flying 20 different kinds of aircraft, is completly useless. In the end, you'll get the bad guy in a simple punch up, and he'll likely fall to his death.

Goodnight everyone! Christine
