Tweets from Jim Waterson of BuzzFeed UK there, including tweets from Sunday Mail reporter Ned Donovan.

The British press corp was locked out of the WH while the WH puzzled over the birth dates on their IDs, which were written in typically British format.

And when Donovan laughed when told they didn't know the British date format was different, the WH press officer (not sure whether that was Spicer or someone else) told him off:

"Why is that funny? One person put their birthday as 01/08/(year), why would we be expected to think that means August 1st? Why?"

Real overreaction from the press officer there. They must know that much of the world is laughing at them, and much of that laughter is because of their ignorance.
