One thing that I like about British people in general is the defiant attitude when facing catastrophe. I say generally because in so many years I lived here things have changed drastically overnight. Also, the latent no messing around attitude.

I like how the British always turn around just before they tell someone something.

An interesting observation. I wonder if we're alone in that. Equally, are we alone in prefixing anything we say that might be deemed controversial or hurtful with a cautionary 'don't get me wrong, but'

No.
I've heard many times french people say:
"I have no prejudice of any kind, but..."
"Not that I have anything against ***, but..."
"I don't want to interfere with your own business, but..."
