   I get that we Brits are known for being annoyingly indirect, but surely “I find these sorts of conversations exhausting” is not unclear, right? It’s obvious that I want the conversation to stop, right?

     @goatsarah Depends who you're talking to. My ex-lodger could not get subtlety at all. One time he got fined for speeding and spent ages privilege-waffling about how the law basically shouldn't have applied to him.

     I tried all the subtle techniques I could think of, and was eventually reduced to saying: "Just shut up."

     He did.
