Are you ready to meet The Bloody British? For fans of Very British Problems, Douglas Adams and Bill Bryson, it’s the perfect gift for the socially awkward oddball in your life.

Being British isn’t easy. Especially if you live abroad, where your countrymen aren’t exactly famous for, well, blending in. As his beloved homeland goes Brexit bananas, bestselling humourist Paul Hawkins takes on Britishness - how it looks from the outside, how to be British abroad and what you only learn about home once you leave it. In this self-deprecating handbook, he reveals the awkward secrets, cultural blind-spots and private oddness of the people he once shared an island with. Part memoir, part cheat-sheet for decoding a nation of well-meaning misfits, The Bloody British is full of hilarious insights about Britishness gleaned (often begrudgingly) from the author’s own time as another country’s foreigner. What does Europe think of us?

I absolutely enjoyed every bit of this audio book, it really gives a lot of insights on the British culture and people and is also really funny! Loved it!

Wonderful!

Don’t get me started on the author’s views on Brexit either.
Some amusing anecdotes, but a rather hackneyed view of the British in the 2000s. Perhaps the author has lived in Germany for too long and has forgotten what it’s like living here. Talking of Germany, I’ve had experience of working as language teacher there too, and I can ensure anyone reading this, that the majority struggle with tenses and most aspects of grammar. Granted some east Europeans know the names of tenses, but they don’t speak as well as the author claims.
I don’t really know who the target audience is for this book, because even if Johnny Foreigner is as good as the author professes, I think they’d have to be near native speakers to understand most of this.
Congratulations to the narrator for reading the twaddle with such gusto.
I’m sorry, but I can’t recommend this, unless you want an outdated impression of the Brits, and can endure the boring Brexit views of the author.

Tediously boring out-of-date twaddle
