We're probably just jealous you had a day off work.

If you're an American, the Fourth of July is a day for fireworks, food, and celebration.

If you're British, however, it seems like it's mainly a day for Twitter jokes.

From Queen GIFs to comments on date format, the UK response to Independence Day on Twitter was pretty much as British as it gets.

Don't worry, America: we were probably just jealous that you had a day off work and we didn't.
