I’ve just finished Very British Problems by Rob Temple. I was looking for a lighthearted, humorous read and this was just the ticket! Obviously it’s quite a specific book – the title itself sets out the target audience – so it may not be for everyone, but it was exactly my cup of tea …
My Favourite ‘Very British Problems’
- Looking into having your hands surgically removed after waving at someone who was waving at someone behind you.
- Sneaking a few empties into your regular bin bag so the recycling collectors won’t think you have a alcohol problem.
- Having a sky that thinks it fun to mimic the colour of the pavement.
- Switching from ‘kind regards’ to ‘regards’ as a warning that you’re dangerously close to losing your temper.
- Deciding which loyalty card to sacrifice to de-ice the windscreen.
- Being prepared to argue to the death, at any given moment, over the correct method of making tea.
Let me know if there are any others you would add!
