BBC interviewer (via NPR) talking to a woman walking home in london because all public transport was shut down:
"How do you feel about this attack?... Does it make you angry? Confused? Scared?"

Woman: "I'm a bit cross actually."

Hee hee. I saw a British man respond to the same sort of questions with, "I'm rather annoyed."
