Understanding the British: A hilarious guide from Apologising to Wimbledon Kindle Edition

Thank you for a quick overview of what to expect on my visit to London. This was a funny, insightful overview.

When I read books about the British, I always learn a few new things. Worth reading.

I'm a Texan but I've spent time in the UK. This book seems true about how Brits think, speak and act. I laughed so hard I nearly hurt myself lol. I would give it 10 stars if I could, but instead I'll give it ten 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

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.

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.

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

Very insightful. And very uplifting as it made me laugh so much!

This was an entertaining look at British culture, from social cues to food and drink. I lol a few times and definitely got the sense that I'd like to hang out with the author and hear some more stories. Fortunately I bought another book of his so I can continue to enjoy his wit!! I also now have a list of things I want to try when I go to London: chip butty, Yorkshire pudding, chip sandwich...can't wait!!

Excellent

I’m part British and grew up abroad. I moved back to the UK permanently 4 years ago, and whether the/we British like it or not, the book describes us pretty well. This becomes especially obvious when you’ve spent most of your life in another country - a country that’s only a 2-hour flight away but yet so very different.The book is a loving look at Britishness, I feel. I don’t sense any self-hate or anti Patriotism in there - on the contrary. We do many odd things in Britain, and I think that’s why I, the author, and many people around the world love us so much. We’re quirky and fun, and this book, sometimes through the art of humorous exaggeration, sure, highlights what is so stereotypically British. There are stereotypes about all countries and peoples, usually rooted in some sort of truth, and it’s a wonderful thing when this is embraced and accepted instead of denied and shamed. We should all be proud of our cultural distinctiveness, even when it’s silly. This book does a great job, and Adam Fletcher has a wonderful writing style and sense of humour.

As a Brit, well let's be honest here, english - (stop asking me if I'm Scottish just because I have ginger hair) living in Krautland. Sorry, Germany. This is an excellent look at us Inselaffen. It's funny because, sadly, it's all true.

I loved reading this book, it’s great for done light entertainment at the expense of the British. I have read most of Adam’s books and love his style of writing. Like his other books i thoroughly enjoyed reading this one.

An easy read, very amusing in places. You can dip in and out, chapter at a time. Also a good summation of British folks.
