To buck the trend of people thinking that FWP means pretending to be posh or rich, may I present to you what I believe epitomises FWP and also being British.

my regular hair cuttist was on holiday, so someone else cut my hair and they made a far better job of it. Now I have to either handle the awkwardness of the original seeing that I have 'dumped' them when I go in in future to use the new stylist, or more likely (here's the british bit) put up with receiving less optimal haircuts in order to avoid the awkwardness.
The epitomy of a British first world problem. My heart bleeds.

I have had this very same problem so I feel your pain.

The solution is to get a new (not as good as either of the other 2) hairdresser and spend several years feeling annoyed with yourself for not just manning up.

You only have a aviary?
"A aviary" - what public school did you go to?
FML It's no good picking up on "A aviary" when you asked. What public school did you go to? It's which, which public school did you go to?
Save that a sentence ending in a proposition is something up with which one should not put.

'To which public school did you go?'

Some unkindly soul has parked their continental front wheel drive hatch back in the space I park the XJ6 each day.

What is one to do?

yes i could sever links with the entire establishment, or maybe go to another of the same in a completely separate town. Hang on... what if they get a transfer?!

I swear, if my new maid puts my socks in my pants drawer again, I'm going to lose it.

Ask her to put a big label on it.

I fear the need to employ another, more senior version to guide her, is the only way forward.
Whilst we are here, do you think it's the right thing to do to inform her that the blind in her room is completely transparent from the outside?

I sometimes enjoy a black coffee (Americano) from the new fangled N'espresso machine but that would always leave a surplus pod for milky coffee (Cappuchino). Imagine my dismay to realise, on a Monday morning, that I had nothing but frothy pods left and no actual coffee. FML

I have the exact same dilemma. My usual guy has got in some help and they did a far better job than him.

It is a dilemma.

I feel your pain brother. Radio reception in one of the CS's is downright poor these days. I must get my man to look at it.
