Very British Problems by Rob Temple
Very British Problems by Rob Temple is a laugh-out-loud collection of the wonderfully awkward, overly polite, and socially anxious quirks that define the British way of life. Based on the hugely popular Twitter account, this hilarious book compiles everyday moments from queueing etiquette to weather-related small talk that every Brit (and curious outsider) can relate to.
Whether it’s avoiding eye contact on public transport or saying “sorry” for absolutely everything, this is the ultimate guide to the charming chaos of British manners and miscommunication.
