13 Tweets About Pancake Day That Prove Brits Cannot Be Trusted With Nice Things

What tossers.

It’s that time of year again people, Pancake Day, when Britain can legitimately eat a stack of pancakes for every meal and not even our mum can stop us.

In the next 24 hours we’ll be stocking up on butter, lemons and sugar, and bracing ourselves for a Nutella-induced food baby.

But instead perhaps we should be considering if we even deserve such a special carb-celebration, given how we’ve been behaving so far this year.

Here are 13 tweets that prove Brits simply cannot be trusted with nice things.
