The longer I live in the UK the more I'm convinced that people like drama and secretly I've developed a liking to hearing drama that has nothing to do with me. Especially when the people involved are convinced it's worth making a fuss about it when it could very well be wrapped up within one civil conversation.
I like human psychology and it never ceases to amaze me how people can get entangled in their own mess.
The UK of course is not unique to this but it does tend to be unique in the way it creates drama especially where I live in the north east.
