26 Marvellously British Problems That Make Life Awkward For Us All

8. Five A Day?

We're not sure how it came about, but it now is apparently necessary to eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. This is, naturally, completely impossible. Vegetarians even struggle with that. Bonus: We're also told practically every day that everything we eat is now going to give us cancer, regardless of whether it's healthy or not.

7. The British Phone Voice

Inexplicably, whenever we call someone in a slightly outside of our comfortable circle capacity, we feel the need to put on completely ludicrous voices that sound slightly like our usual voices but much more funny to those nearby. We also then go about routinely replacing everyday words such as 'you' with 'yourselves' and 'us' with 'ourselves' as you think it sounds a bit posh.

6. Yes, That's Fine

After you've put your future in the hands of an overly friendly woman/bloke who has chopped away at your hair and hopefully produced something you like, they'll then pick up a mirror and show you the back. Nobody knows why this is done, but you'll look quizzically at the back of your head, internally think it looks ridiculous, and say 'Yes, that's fine.'

5. Wheyyyy!

Unless you're around fellow Brits, it really isn't socially acceptable to shout 'Wheyy!!!' whenever somebody falls over in spectacular fashion. If you are in the company of Brits, it is essential to make the person who has fallen over look like a complete idiot by, in stereo, shouting 'Wheyyy!' with everyone else in the immediate vicinity.
