Description:

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

More Very British Problems: Life Just Got Awkward
DO YOU SUFFER FROM VERY BRITISH PROBLEMS ABROAD?

If you…

*Carry emergency teabags in your money belt
*Quietly tut at badly formed ‘queues’
*Cleverly avoid blisters by wearing socks with your sandals

…then you may have a serious problem for which there is no know vaccination. But don’t worry: Rob Temple is here to explain the symptoms/make fun of you. (In the nicest possible way.)

Critics called the first Very British Problems book ‘not bad’ and ‘easy to gift-wrap’, so in an attempt to outdo himself, Rob’s taking us outside of our comfort zone. We’re going to that alarming place where crisps don’t quite taste the same and where ordering chips get you… well, crisps. We’re going abroad.

From the optimum number of times to carry out panicky pre-trip passport checks to the horror of returning home to a milkless house, this is an affectionate into the cultural quirks and strange obessions that make us all so very British – especially when we leave the country.

Very British Problems Volume III: Still Awkward, Still Raining
Have you ever…

Got into a four-hour argument over what does and does not belong in a full English breakfast?

Sat perfectly still in terrified silence until the unknown number stops ringing and goes away?

Replied to the question ‘Can I get you anything? Tea, coffee, water?’ with ‘Lovely, thanks’?

…then you may (still) be suffering from VERY BRITISH PROBLEMS.

Rob Temple is back to guide you through the maze of idiosyncrasies, loveable foibles and – let’s admit – outright eccentricities that define this sceptred isle. Featuring groundbreaking original research from his @soverybritish Twitter account (spoiler: 84% of Brits prefer milk in first), this book may not be a remedy for your incurable VBPs, but it will certainly provide amusement as you hide in the loo from an unexpected visitor.
