15 Things British People Say Vs What We Actually Mean

4. "You've Caught The Sun" - Your Face Looks Like That Plastic Covering On A Babybel

There's nothing a Brit loves more than a bit of sunshine. When that inevitable 'first day of summer' dawns, it's so-long big coats and melancholy complexion, hello tight shorts and beer gardens. There is however, that one friend that is simply ill-equipped to take on such a vehement demonstration of nature's might. One step out into the 23 degree heat and they burn to a crisp, leaving you to attempt your best at consolation by (weakly) suggesting it 'might turn to tan tomorrow'.

3. "I Live Near Bristol" - I Don't Live Near Bristol But I've Spent My Life Trying To Explain The Location Of The Tiny Rural Village In The South West That I Call Home And Now I Have Simply Given Up

This is one for those of us country-bumpkin Brits that have come to terms with the fact that a 'night on the town' involves a pint in the local before necking back the Jungfrau bombs in a seedy nightclub which, in our experience, is usually located above a cafe. It is not a great night out.
