British First World Problems

Thinking more about traditional or conventional Britain what things about us define us as a nation? The Roast Dinner for example is a truly quintessential British moment for many of the population. The Roast Dinner while not just being delicious is also a symbol of togetherness, of nourishment and comfo . Queuing is another quintessential British moment yet it doesn’t say much that actually interesting or pa icular about our culture. Rather than simple moments like a Roast Dinner or a queue, what other aspects of our culture de ne us? What are less cliche examples to do with society, products? What about British moments within British moments?

 

First world problems are a really interesting subject as they deal with some of the most petty and ridiculous ‘problems’ you’ll ever come across. What was great about BRITISH First World problems is how completely bizarre and almost ‘other-worldly’ they can be. The things they bring up are so unique to Britain that only British person would really appreciate the humor of them. This is when it clicked. I should use British First World Problems as the basis of my project development. What are the little awkward things about our culture that de ne us so well? Key examples include ‘getting caught in the rain (especially when it looks sunny), losing all Tupperware lids, beans being too close the egg, terrible tea, terrible toast and queuing.
