What if Basil Fawlty ran your customer service helpline?
What if Mr Bean was stuck in your hybrid meeting?
What if Darth Vader had to queue in the rain at Waitrose?
In Very British Problems: How the World's Favourite Characters Survive Britain, some of the most iconic characters from film, TV, books and comics are dropped straight into the glorious chaos of modern British life.
From Basil Fawlty, David Brent and Blackadder to Darth Vader, Yoda, Sherlock Holmes and the Sorting Hat, this sharp, witty and very British collection shows how the world's best-known heroes, villains and legends cope with our unique national quirks: endless queues, broken trains, eye-watering energy bills, passive-aggressive small talk, parish council meetings, and the eternal generational housing crisis.
Funny, nostalgic and painfully relatable, this first volume is perfect for anyone who's ever muttered "I don't believe it!", "Don't panic!", "Ah, for the love of God..." or simply clutched a towel while waiting for the next delayed train.
If you love British comedy, pop culture satire and laughing at the everyday absurdities of life in Britain, this book is for you.

Person
Hello, My name is Jack Lexington...well my real name is Craig but my pen name is Jack Lexington. I chose the name because Jack from 'Jack of all Trades' and Lexington which is just a name I made using my daughters name Lexi.
I am from Liverpool in the UK and was born on the 5th of May 1988. I have one daughter named Lexi-Mai and have interests in sports, history, Reading and Writing. I am also an online retailer where I run a store called TDS Gifts & Homeware. I also have a small Youtube Channel I post things for fun now and again. called TDOS The Department Of Shorts
I have a good however somewhat dark at times sense of humour and try not to take things to heart. I first tried writing when I was 28 and my grammar was appalling. I decided to actually try to improve this after writing a couple of fact books and a series called 'Unsolved Murders In The United Kingdom' I am hoping that with every book I am improving but it is not for me to be the judge of that.
It may also be obvious but I am not really good at selling or advertising myself I do not like to push advertisements on people but I am just an ordinary down to earth person. Maybe if you like you can subscribe to my Youtube Channel or even follow me on Twitter. Perhaps even buy a book most of my back catalogue is on Amazon only at the minute but I will try to make them more widely available to people.
