People are coming up with ‘very British offences’ and they’re funny and oh so true
People have been coming up with #VeryBritishOffences on Twitter – little things we probably shouldn’t do but we do anyway because, you know, we’re British.
See how many of them you do. They’re funny and also rather reassuring that we’ve still got so much in common (an unusually large number of them appear to involve shopping bags).
