Then you could be suffering the seasonal effects of being So Very British

Do you hate to disturb the cabin crew, feel guilty while walking through customs and worry that you might just have triggered a monsoon just by purchasing barbecue food? If so, congratulations: you are most definitely British.

Very British Problems, a Twitter feed created by blogger Rob Temple is dedicated to the Anglo-Saxon love of 'making life awkward for ourselves, one rainy day at a time' - and is packed with problems that most of us will recognise, albeit while inwardly cringing.

With summer finally upon us, Temple has flooded @SoVeryBritish with seasonal British dilemmas that include worrying about Wimbledon, troubles with tipping and the need to say sorry at all times.

SO VERY BRITISH: CLASSICALLY ANGLO-SAXON SUMMER CONUNDRUMS

Noticing a small patch of blue sky and immediately purchasing 24 cases of Pimms

Missing winter whenever the faint sound of buzzing causes you to hurl yourself into the nearest cupboard

Being told you've caught the sun, indicating you're burnt to an absolute crisp

Being unable to recall the last time you ended a conversation without muttering: "Roll on summer, that's what I say"

Walking through open barriers at a train station as if smuggling drugs through customs, despite having a ticket

Concentrating to within an inch of your life on the pre-flight safety briefing, to compensate for those ignoring it

Having an uneasy feeling that the sky has been stockpiling rain for Wimbledon

Worrying you might have just triggered a monsoon by purchasing barbecue food

Worrying you've accidentally packed three kilos of cocaine and a dead goat as you stroll through 'Nothing to declare'

Inviting someone to a party, then providing a list of reasons not to come in case they don't fancy it

Saying sorry as a way of catching someone's attention

The anxious bewilderment when clocking the stranger deciding to join the queue at your side rather than behind you

Protecting your area at baggage reclaim as if the lives of your family depend on it

Straining not to thank the waiter for every small item he clears, so you can deliver one big thanks at the end

Being told to enjoy your meal, flight, stay or birthday and replying "Thanks, you too!"

Secretly hoping it stays cold so there's always something to talk about

Allowing your bladder to explode rather than wake a fellow plane passenger

Never under any circumstance pressing the call button on a plane, in case you disturb the cabin crew

Now you've got me worried.

I don't mind being unBritish, because few of those items refer to me, but the article also suggested that these were Anglo-Saxon traits? That I cannot accept - it's those whinging Celts and the Britons in Cornwall that carry on in such ways, surely? Not us A-S's - we're much more self-contained and concerned about work first.

Unfortunately, I have been banned from the Pimms on numerous occasions at family do's.

But next week I'm allowed one or two, Just to keep the chin up. See hoo that goes, Jimmy.
