Ever said sorry to an inanimate object?

Formed a queue... on your own?

Or spent the whole night standing naked in a stranger's cupboard because you're too polite to ask for help? (Don't ask.)

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 (and only mildly treacherous) handbook, he reveals the awkward secrets, cultural blind-spots and private oddness of the people he once shared an island with. (Revenge is a dish best served politely, after all...)

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?

Featuring invaluable advice for all Brits, expats, brexpats and visitors to the UK alike, including:

- The Brit Abroad Language-Speaking Plan

- How to be Rude, Politely (the secret code of passive-aggression)

- How to be Mean, Nicely (the unwritten rules of successful banter)

- ... plus an illustrated Integration Guide for British Refugees in Europe (just in case)

For all fans of Very British Problems, Douglas Adams and Bill Bryson, it's the perfect gift for the socially awkward oddball in your life (especially if that socially awkward oddball is you.)

Are you ready to meet The Bloody British?
