Go to the beach in the rain while on holiday.

Yeah it is, it’s just working in places right by the beach down here it was always funny seeing parents be like ‘we’ve paid for this holiday by the sea, you’re going on the fucking beach’ to their kids and shoving a bucket and spade at them.

Was trying to explain to a Colombian guy down here about the weird psychology of the British, the crutch of former glories played out as a lack of real drive to make sure we put the money into a sport to actually win it vs the assumption that we could win it.

I think he understood it when I said that if you asked pretty much any British person if ‘we won WW2’ they would say yes. And he was just amazed, like it was so clear to him that American and Russia were the two forces that made it possible to force Germany to surrender and he just hadn’t known what a bunch of washed up, glory-days wasters we were…

Desperately cling on to an idealised notion of Empire to prevent having to take responsibility for the country’s failings
