The problems with being English

It's more about what the text (mainly screencaps of tweets) in the pictures say than the pictures themselves, but I'll include what the images are of anyway.

1. Pic: David Attenborough with a butterfly.
Text: I was looking forward to a nature documentary I recorded but when I sat down to watch it the narrator wasn't David Attenborough

2. Pic: Robbie Williams sticking two fingers up at the camera.
Text: I live outside the UK so when I say "With all due respect" nobody realises I'm insulting them

3. Pic: A box of chocolate covered biscuits (cookies to you)
Text: I asked if anyone wanted the last biscuit. Someone did.

4. Pic: A Bus on Westminster Bridge with the houses of Parliament in the background.
Text: I accidentally rang the bell on the bus at the wrong stop, and instead of explaining my predicament to the driver, got off and walked the rest of the way home

5. Pic: A sad looking kitten.
Text: My cat meowed during the 2 minute silence. I've never felt more embarrassed, even though I was alone.

6. Pic: A pile of teabags.
Text: I accidentally used the wrong tea bag, and now I'm drinking Earl Grey. I still like it but I wasn't expecting it.

7. Pic: A man with really bad hair.
Text: Having my haircut, the barber said "Is that alright?" I nodded. It wasn't.

8. Pic: A jar of Marmite.
Text: My girlfriend claims to be 'neither here nor there' on Marmite. Now I can't trust anything she says or does.

9. Pic: A lady with a white headset like someone in a call centre would wear.
Text: I phoned Netflix customer support which is US based, they were so overly polite I thought they were being sarcastic and hung up.

10. Pic: A picture of Honey Boo Boo's Mother (I think?)
Text: "on accident"

11. Pic: A parking attendant wearing a yellow Hi Vis about to put a penalty notice on a car.
Text: I said 'thank you' as a warden handed me a parking ticket.

12. Pic: A black & White image of a man in a park wearing a bowler hat, smoking a pipe.
Text: I can't say 'great' without sounding sarcastic.

13. Pic: A mini-roundabout in what looks like a small town. There is a red phone box and a zebra crossing in the background.
Text: Yesterday, I arrived at a mini-roundabout simultaneously with two other drivers from other directions. We're still here.

14. Pic: A lady holding a pale green tea cup.
Text: My girlfriend cannot make tea, Just some type of warm milk.

15. Pic: A teaspoon of sugar being held over a cup of tea.
Text: I can't help but think of people who take sugar as intellectually inferior.

16. Pic: A blurry image of an aisle at a supermarket.
Text: A man in the supermarket was browsing the food I wanted to browse, so I had to pretend to look at things I didn't even want until he left.

17. Pic: People at Glasgow Central Station walking along a platform where there is a train.
Text: Heard an announcement at the train station: "We are sorry". Just that, nothing else.

18. Pic: A hand with ugly pink nails with big stones on them holding a lit cigarette.
Text: I apologise for not smoking when someone asks me for a light

19. Pic: A blurry pic of a bar in a pub with a almost empty glass of Fosters in the foreground.
Text: People who drink their pint significantly faster or slower than the group average, thereby making buying a round repeatedly shambolic.

20. Pic: A fully stocked fridge, mostly full of fruit and veg.
Text: I'm a Brit staying with a family in New Zealand. My hosts told me to help myself to food and drink whenever I want, otherwise I won't get fed. This goes against everything I know.

21. Pic: A doctor's hand holding a stethoscope.
Text: I don't feel well but I don't want to disturb my doctor.
