Funny, deep and unpacking English society with care. The section on the ‘invisible queue at the bar’ is uncommonly perceptive and I find myself discussing it with natives and non-natives regularly. I’ve given this book as a gift to people moving to the UK or feeling homesick for it at least 5 times. Saved us from lots of faux pas .. on 21 July 2018 By Judith Bought as an update to the previous edition which taught me so much as I tried to settle in this country from Australia. It is incredible to read so many cultural differences and my husband and I made gaffe after gaffe (without realising it) during our first year living in London 2006). Another Aussie recommended we read this book and … …. what can I say … our eyes were opened wide. It was a huge help to us in adjusting (we are elderly retirees). We have lived here for 12 years now and every once in a while we have to pull back and say to ourselves ‘are we being too Australian’. Our neighbours usually help us out with the answer. Recommended as a great read – for the English as well to understand themselves better. Excellent second edition (I have both) updated to include how … on 27 June 2017 By Emptiness Excellent second edition (I have both) updated to include how the internet and mobile technology, among other things, have impacted British life. Anthropology is the science which tells us that people are the same the whole world over – except when they are different. on 20 July 2015 By jacw2000 “I don’t see why anthropologists feel they have to travel to remote corners of the world and get dysentery and malaria in order to study strange tribal cultures with bizarre beliefs and mysterious customs, when the weirdest, most puzzling tribe of all is right here on our doorstep.” Written with great sympathy and fondness and unpacking what lies behind English … on 5 July 2017 By Yellow Dog Essential reading for visitors to England wanting to understand why the English are so odd by the standards of the rest of the world but why they so firmly believe that they are the world’s most normal. Written with great sympathy and fondness and unpacking what lies behind English traits like the reserve and desire not to disturb. Wonderful book which makes a great gift to any American … on 22 January 2015 By charlotte the harlot Wonderful book which makes a great gift to any American friends you might have . Superbly researched and spot on observations of our middle class eccentricities . I have loaned this out to numerous friends who all loved it . A great read if you want to absolutely get under the skin of us Brits ! Arrived on time well packaged . I am grateful to Kate Fox for explaining the inexplicable … on 30 May 2016 By Halina Bien I am grateful to Kate Fox for explaining the inexplicable. A really good read and an extremely accurate portrayal of English people on 21 July 2018 By Kindle Customer A really good read and an extremely accurate portrayal of English people. It’s very embarrassing when you read a few sentences and suddenly think “oh my god, that’s me” especially when it happens over and over again. This woman is good and I love her style of writing. She is not boring at all. Entertaining and interesting book on the English on 6 February 2013 By Jimbo Being foreign to England, it gave me one person’s perspective on why the English behave the way they do. Many of the observations seem to be spot on and there are some insights which I personally think are enlightening. 😀 on 4 November 2017 By Bergen Larsen Loving this author’s writing style. (Sometimes she can ramble on a bit, however, reading the book you begin to understand why. She’s an English person trying to not offend other English people while pointing out their quirks. ;)) View on Amazon Related eBooks
