Useful cut-out-and-keep guide if you work with a Brit.

Very British workplace translation guide What everything said in the office really means:

1 “Could do.” Nope.

2 “I'll have a look in a sec.” Please go away.

3 “I'll sort it out tomorrow.” I'll forget about it forever.

4 “We've had a few teething problems.” It’s been a bloody nightmare.

5 “Let’s agree to disagree.” You're wrong but I'm so tired.

6 “What have you got on at the minute?” Pre- pare for your workload to triple.

7 “I'll see what I can do.” You're on your own. 8 “It’s the next thing on my list.” I don’t even have a list.

9 “Sorry, could you just clarify something?” What the hell are you drivelling on about?

10 “I have had better days.” These have been, without exception, the worst 24 hours of my life.
