The midlife crisis is coming for you, whether you like it or not. Early symptoms include browsing bright orange convertibles you can't afford, starting a podcast nobody asked for, the overwhelming urge to get a tattoo that says 'no regrets' (despite having approximately forty years of regrets), and watching the London Marathon thinking, yeah, I could do that!





From navigating the particular grief of realising your doctor looks younger than you to a passionate new interest in the weekly bin schedule, Very British Problems creator Rob Temple is here to guide you through every absurd impulse, bold reinvention and spectacular cringe of the midlife crisis.



Reader reviews for A Very British Christmas:
