This weekend, British spirit helped us overcome the tragic and recent terror attacks in both London and Manchester. When the New York Times printed the headline “The London attacks hit a nation still reeling from the shock of bombing in Manchester almost 2 weeks ago”, Twitter users all over the country mocked the newspapers choice of words. The hashtag #ThingsThatLeaveBritianReeling has been trending on Twitter this week along with humorous examples of what really leaves Brits’ reeling.

Once user tweeted “People that don’t put toilet roll the right way”, with another saying “Toasters that aren’t big enough to fit in the whole slice of toast. What’s the point”. Our favourite (and arguably the most typically British of them all) was “When you see someone making a cup of tea and they put milk in first”. The New York Times has since changed its headline to ‘Another Terrorist Attack Strikes the Heart of London’.
