Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Wish You Were Here is a 1987 dramedy film directed by David Leland. In 1951 England, Lynda Mansell is fifteen years old and is bored with living in a small British resort town with her single, alcoholic father who's incapable or unwilling to show Lynda any affection and her goody-goody little sister Margaret. Nobody in town understands Lynda's outspoken, brash style and attitude which are ahead of the time. Lynda searches for love in various places, resulting in serious consequences.Not to be confused with the Pink Floyd album.

Annoying Younger Sibling: Margaret qualifies as this according to Lynda, given her boring, goody-two-shoes persona.

Deadpan Snarker: Lynda. When Eric shows up at the tea house asking for a cake or a bun, she lists all of the cakes and buns on the menu, squeezing in her favorite catchphrase “Up your bum!”

British Stuffiness: In one of the penultimate scenes, Lynda goes on a fiery public rant about what she sees as society’s hypocrisy and uptightness about sex. She gets up on a table at her café job and goads the patrons to yell the word “Sex” with her, making for a truly farcical scene.
