For us Brits, social situations and awkwardness go together like gravy and mash.
Life can be tough in Blighty, and we love to moan about it.
The entire country had an astronomical meltdown when we heard about the new line up for GBBO. ‘What, Mary Berry’s gone?’ *chokes on cake*
Embarrassingly, most of us can say, at some point we have ran for the bus, missed it, but carried on casually running for a short while, so as to not lose face.
And then there’s the rain, the constant rain.
Here are some very British problems.

#19 If you’re visiting England this year don’t mention the railways, say the words Southern Rail or super off-peak to a Brit. Ever.
