There's nothing much left to feel good about these days if you're British, but one of the few things where we all agree that we're still a world leader is our defining sense of humour. Thematically covering every subject imaginable, from God to dogs, this collection will be the seminal gathering of our national wit and a picture of who we are as a nation - a monument to our monumental silliness.
A veritable monument to our self-effacing approach * Goodtimes *
An outstanding up-to-date anthology * Sunday Times *
400 pages of the funniest one-liners ever uttered by Brits about Brits...This is one of those clever books you'll pick up intent on having a quick browse and before you know it, it's dark outside, there's a black dot on the TV and you haven't spoken to another soul for 10 hours. * Scottish Daily Record *
