US Brits are certainly guilty of many quirky traits - our apparent love of queues, apologising profusely (and often unnecessarily) and dunking biscuits to the point of no return being but a few.

Another tweeted: "Keeping a stiff upper lip when all you really want to do is cry #AwfullyBritishOffences".
