17 Earth-Shattering Summer Problems Only British People Will Understand

    It's been a great summer so far. But we can't wait for it to end.

    1. When everyone's trying to have barbeques at the same time and inevitably getting them horribly wrong.

    2. Like when these guys dropped their meat.

    3. And these people ran out of Pimm's.

    4. When buses inexplicably turn their heating on at exactly the hottest part of the year.

    5. When people insist on playing infuriating bongos in the park.

    6. And our largest nation's football team's most memorable contribution to a World Cup is when their physio gets injured celebrating a goal.

    7. Even at the height of the hottest summer in years, going to festivals involves a lot of mud.

    As a country we don't do air conditioning, except in supermarkets.

    14. So being at work is great fun.

    15. No one knows what to do with butter.

    16. And hay fever is LITERALLY the worst thing that had ever happened.

    17. Worst of all, people can't enjoy themselves because they're too busy worrying about when to call it and say summer is over.
