We all bang on about being a nation of fair play and queuing, yet we've got a suitcase full of ethical skeletons. Rank these questionable national habits from 'proudly defend' to 'genuinely shameful'.
Put the items in your preferred order.
Tutting instead of confronting
Someone jumps the queue at Tesco and we express our outrage with a barely audible 'tsk'. Cowardice or civilised restraint?
Pretending to like your neighbours
You'd rather chew glass than have another chat about their extension, but you'll still wave cheerfully over the fence every Saturday.
Ordering a 'cheeky' Nando's or pint
Slapping the word 'cheeky' on any indulgence to dodge responsibility for a fifth pint on a Tuesday. Linguistic gaslighting, really.
Talking about the weather to avoid real conversation
Grandma's ill, the country's on fire, but have you seen this drizzle? Small talk as an emotional shield.
Judging people by their accent
We claim we've moved on, yet a Received Pronunciation voice still gets the job over a Scouse or Geordie one. Snobbery in stereo.
