Life is full of little bonuses, and we British love the thrill. Here are 23 things which send mild thrills through the body of the average Brit.
---------------
Remembering your bags for life - now more than ever!
Being in the quicker moving queue in a motorway jam
When you discover two people you know have the same birthdays. Maths Geeks: 99.9% probability is reached with just 70 people, and 50% probability with 23 people, but still... exciting!
Biscuit dunking perfection - playing roulette with the strength of the bake before it becomes too soggy and drops off
When someone you know has the same name as a famous person - I knew an 'Anne Robinson' a few years ago!
Shops with clever names. This is my favourite, in a town from my previous life, Towcester, Northants
