So Very British Problems.

[Twice in one night! Wooo!]

Found this gem of a Twitter user from Tom Hiddleston's page some time ago. I'm experiencing an onset of Anglophilia recently, which is rather evident from the fact that I was only in England for a cumulative 24 hours (including sleeping) but still thought that London was the highlight of my entire trip.

[I saw so many British things I was able to identify! As in, recognise pop culture things and know whatever it is they are.]

Coupled with my exposure to British film, TV and books (plus my current craze with English actors) growing up, London is certainly a place I'd like to visit again, albeit for far more hours this time around.

So without further ado, since I have/had a lot of time on my hands tonight (eagle-eyes will spot that I went all the way back to January 2013 for tweets), here are some very-British problems that I can identify with:

Entering into mild panic if unable to pick the correct amount of change from your hand within three seconds

And then people in the back start tsk-ing and tapping their toes...

Saying hello to a friend in the supermarket, then creeping around like a burglar to avoid seeing them again

This is unfortunately me. I'm so awkward around people, I skip the 'hello' and jump right to 'creeping'.

Pretending to write down a number on an imaginary pad with an imaginary pen when you're on the phone and have neither

This is slightly a problem; I either find the pen or I find the paper. Never both.

Watching with quiet sorrow as you receive a different haircut to the one you requested

I am quiet because I don't do righteous indignation well.

Noticing somebody smiling at you and wondering what on earth must be wrong with your face

Exactly! And they're always smiling at someone behind me.

The terror of these words: "And then later I'll ask everyone to stand up and present their ideas to the room"

To the last, I don't have to be standing to be terrified.
