A young man who fled yesterday's terrorist attacks with a pint of beer in hand has become something of an internet hero.
The Foreign Archivesphoto, which has been retweeted over 28,000 times, features the man fleeing from the scene with a pint of beer in hand. For some, the photo provided a moment of profoundly dark comedy on a day otherwise entirely colored by tragedy.

People couldn't help but feel a little twinge of pride upon seeing a fellow Londoner refuse to leave his beer behind, despite the danger around him.
And at London prices, you wouldn't want to spill it either.

The people hating on this guy are blatantly NOT British. We find this a) funny and b) admirable.

Thank you. We've always used dark humour to get through crisises. Its a particular Brit quirk.
