If there is a distillation of what it means to be English, this sort of larking around with complete strangers should be it!
Walked around a corner once and someone up the road was bowling a fake cricket delivery so I did a fake slog back over his head. He turned around to fake watch the ball go for six, and put his hands on his head in fake exasperation
Please quote this with stories of your minor interactions with non-celebrities, e.g. “I once accidentally bumped into a man in the Wellingborough branch of Holland & Barrett”

New Home Office impact assessment finds that cutting skilled and social care visas will cost the UK up to £10 billion with a central estimate of -£5.4 billion.
It would be good if this got even a fraction of the coverage devoted to the endless debate about boats, flags and Turkish barber shops

As I have noted before, almost half of everyone ever born died in childhood. There are people alive today who were already alive when this stopped being true for everyone born in the future.
