The Bloody British: A Well-Meaning Guide to an Awkward Nation

Written by Paul Hawkins

Narrated by Stewart Crank

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?

Paul Hawkins

American author. I am happy to be a child of the space age and I still set my sights on great things. I put humor in everything I write because that is my disposition. If I chronicle the 20th century it is only because I have not given up on the 21st.

Reviews for The Bloody British

[frank Williams · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

For a comic writer I would have thought I would laugh more listened to this after bing listening to George Mahood books
Maybe I would have found it better if I had just listened to Mein Kampf

[Christiaan Berghuis · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Extremely funny and well read. Also very very cleverly written.
