I was having a laugh with my good British pal, Richard Ankers, today about his love of coffee over tea. I was outraged to hear this… I mean, a Brit who prefers coffee over tea? What madness is this?
Then I came upon this pin on Pinterest all about Very British Problems. I just had to have a laugh and share (despite being guilty of having quite a few of these problems myself).
Anyone else out there – British or not – feel some of these problems?

There’s actually a couple of books and a TV show called Very British Problems.
It turns out the Brit’s have a lot of problems…

It is good for a giggle if you know British people that’s for sure. It explains so much about the Brits.

I’m wondering if those are British problems or universal ones, because I related to nearly all of those!

Yeah me too. I thought it was Australia being a colony of the British that maybe explained me relating to these, but as you say, maybe it’s just a Very Human Problems list!

I think these are probably world-wide problems!

Loved those! I also wasn’t familiar with the Twitter feed, but am now following. I might not be British (well, a quarter of me is), but the feed is too much fun to pass up.

Pretty funny. Better overly polite than darn rude (often the American approach to awkwardness).

Every time I see a picture of a telephone box I expect Dr Who to be coming out of it. We don’t have any phone booths anymore. And there are only a few pay phones attached to the walls of some stores. Such a shame.
