We're going to be exploring something delightfully quirky.
Fifteen innately British traits.
These are the behaviours, habits and attitudes that make British people immediately recognisable anywhere in the world.
As usual this is a comprehension lesson so I will speak slowly and clearly and I will put up phrases that could be useful or that you might find challenging up on the screen as I speak.

It might sound dull, but in the UK, discussing the weather is practically an art form, regardless of how uneventful the forecast is.
You might hear phrases like, oh, it's a bit chilly today.
It's definitely brightening up.
Beautiful day, while it lasts.
It can't make up its mind today.
