Ah, Britain. Sorry, Great Britain. Sorry, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland ... and the Channel Islands, the bits in between, the other splodges left around the place by the Commonwealth - may God bless her and all who sail in her.

|comment= Just to say I thought this book was 5-star, 24-carat amazing! I agree it's so much more than just a novelty book - and yes, you do feel a bit dazed by the end of it. I'd never realised before what an amazing country I lived in. This book has really made me prouder to be British. When I got to the end of the book, I didn't know whether to cheer or just start again from the beginning.
An amazing read! My best book of the year. Strongly, strongly recommended.
