Very British Problems : Making Life Awkward for Ourselves, One Rainy Day at a Time - Thryft

Laugh-out-loud relatability for awkward Brits everywhere.

This book would be a great read for anyone who has ever felt out of place in social situations. With humorous anecdotes and relatable experiences, readers will find comfort in the fact that they are not alone in their social awkwardness. The most unique and distinctive feature of this book is the author's ability to capture the essence of British culture and turn it into a hilarious read.

Description

There's an epidemic sweeping the nation. Symptoms include:*Acute embarrassment at the mere notion of making a fuss;*Extreme awkwardness when faced with any social greeting beyond a brisk handshake;*An unhealthy preoccupation with meteorology.Doctors have also reported several cases of unnecessary apologising, an obsessive interest in correct queuing etiquette and dramatic sighing in the presence of loud teenagers on public transport. If you have experienced any of these symptoms, you may be suffering from VERY BRITISH PROBLEMS. VERY BRITISH PROBLEMS are highly contagious. There is no known cure.Rob Temple's hilarious new book reveals all the ways in which we are a nation of socially awkward but well-meaning oddballs, struggling to make it through every day without apologising to an inanimate object. Take comfort in misfortunes of others. You are not alone.
