Everything is awful. War, falling living standards, anthropogenic climate change. So here, in no particular order, is a list of profoundly unimportant things about being free and alive in 21st-century London that annoy me and, I hope, will come to annoy you:
Pret coffee, Old Street roundabout and emails that begin “I hope you’re well” followed by a question mark. Twitter parody accounts, undisclosed transfer fees, people calling the UK the sixth richest country in the world when they mean the sixth largest economy (our GDP per capita places us at 29th according to the World Bank).
