As its cover suggests, The A to Z of Being British is an acerbic take on the state of modern Britain. Funny, insightful and eversoslightly nonPC, the book is split into 70 alphabetic sections. It covers a range of topics from the generic (e.g. democracy) to the specific (e.g. Jeremy Clarkson) and from the perennial (e.g. Wimbledon) to the very topical (e.g. banks). Im very fair in my criticism, being equally disgusted with everyone and everything that gets a mention. That hasnt stopped some from taking offence, however, so be warned - this is not a book for the fainthearted or the deeply patriotic. There are many good, kind, hardworking people of integrity in Britain, but my book isn;t about them. Instead, I wrote it for them. Or to be more precise I wrote it for me, but with them in mind. Not all good, kind, hardworking people of Britain will welcome it. Some already havent. That came as no surprise, because not everyone takes a balanced view. Patriotism distorts, just as power corrupts. My book isnt fair either. Its a caricature, Britain seen grotesque in the cruellest of funfair mirrors, a counterbalance to all those people who lead our Government and our industries who arent kind people of integrity, and who are doing very nicely thank you out of screwing the nation while telling us that Britain is still Great. Well, it isnt, and The A to Z of Being British explains in the clearest possible terms why. Its catharsis. Enjoy! What can I say? Well, firstly, I am quite an authority on Britain. Ive lived there all my life, even if in between times Ive seen a few other places too. Ive also seen Britain from a variety of interesting vantage points. As well as via the comprehensive education system and through the windows of a Scottish university, in between getting an education and getting a life Ive cleaned carriages for British Rail, Ive collected trolleys for Sainsburys and Ive collected timber from the back of a moulding machine in a sawmill. Worse than all that, though, Ive spent fifteen years in the UK financial services industry - and if you want to get a good view of whats wrong with modern Britain, theres no better place to see it from than that. The best thing Britain ever did for me was to give me an education. For that I am very grateful. The best thing Britain didnt give me was a Nottingham accent. Im very grateful for that too. But I am most grateful of all to have had two parents who knew how to bring up children. There were a lot that didnt even then, and anyone whos had a close look at Britain recently certainly wouldnt take that for granted. I live in Nottingham with my long suffering wife, Joy. Weve no kids, just fish and pet hates.
