Going for an “any time” train ticket because understanding what constitutes “off peak” requires an expert knowledge of advanced calculus, economics, law and philosophy.

Suitable conversation topics with a neighbour:. 1. The weather - “bit hot,” “bit wet,” “meant to be nice at the weekend,” “meant to snow soon” etc. Just anything very obvious. 2. Bins - missing collections, questions about changes in the calendar, asking if they’ll put your bin.

It’s funny when a colleague asks you to do something but says, “no rush, though, finish your lunch first”. Well how kind of you! I was going to toss my sandwich in the bin and spit out my crisps until you said that.

Some very British understatement, which I have highlighted for you, on the back cover of this book of P.G. Wodehouse letters.
