Put the items in your preferred order.
Letting someone go ahead in the queue
Waving someone with fewer items ahead at Tesco might seem minor, but in a nation built on queuing, it's practically saintly behaviour.
Checking in on an elderly neighbour
Knocking on Doris next door's door during a cold snap or heatwave. Quiet, unglamorous, and genuinely lifesaving.
Giving up your seat on the Tube
Standing up for a pregnant passenger or pensioner without making a show of it. The unsung hero move of public transport.
Returning a lost wallet untouched
Handing in a wallet with the tenner still inside. A small test of character most Brits quietly pass.
Holding the door for a stranger
That awkward moment when you wait just a bit too long, but you do it anyway. Politeness as a moral principle.
Drag the photo to reorder
Order these UK bank holidays by the year they were officially established as public holidays.
