Description:

The British are not who you think they are...

In fact, they’re not even who they think they are!

Come on a hilarious tour of the most misunderstood people on Earth.

Throwing away all the usual, boring stereotypes, and unafraid of being critical where justified, best-selling author (and Brit) Adam Fletcher will explain:
- What cricket has to do with the Grim Reaper.
- When you shouldn’t say sorry.
- Which secret religion every Brit is a member of.
- The twenty most annoying phrases in the English language.
- The revolutionary hangover cure invented in Scotland.
- The Ten Commandments of British humour.

And much more.

Packed with warmth, humour, honesty, insight, and more than forty hilarious illustrations, Understanding the British is the definitive irreverent guide to a strange nation.

Bonus: includes a How British Are You? quiz that will reveal just how well you understand the British mentality.

I laughed so hard reading this book that my stomach hurt. I often get friendly jokes in my house for drinking English Breakfast Tea. And I have a friend from England who tells me all sorts of random stuff that is funny. This book is great

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny and fun to read.

I've always view the British as polite, high class and sophisticated. I now think royalty walk around in ratty house coat in their bare feet. actually this book is hilarious. It's worth reading. If you visit England, go to the pubs as a spectator.

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and Comprehensively Cheeky

Just when you thought you knew it all about the Brits, something new comes along and surprises!Very entertaining and the humor will help explain the way the Brits think. For an American, a great new perspective on everything British.

My only real complaint is that some of the illustrations were too hard to read without a magnifying glass.

I’m a Brit living Stateside (for 23 years). This book is hilarious! Very accurate and talks about the pros and cons of being a Brit from a Brit’s point of view. Fast, funny read.

If ever a book will cheer you up, this is it! After the first chapter I told myself, "I must order more to give to my friends." I am English, living in the U.S. It took a while to be proud of this, since the English are not as identifiable as the Scots, Welsh or Irish. We don't have a national costume or a national dance (I refuse to count Morris Dancing), or even a common dialect. This little well-written book has managed to reveal what makes us all Brits and proud of it. Long live our little island nation and all its idiosyncracies, and thank you, Adam Fletcher.

A great take on the British
