British ways to say “I’ve just been through the most harrowing and traumatising experience of my life”:

It is what it is
Ah well
Can’t be helped
Could’ve been worse
It’s fine
Bloody hell
I think I need a sit down
Right, better crack on
I’ll put the kettle on
Sorry about this

"FYI"
"As per my email"
“With respect”
“Friendly reminder”
“Polite note”
“I was disappointed to...”
