Okay, so I am a little obsessed with all things British. If a country could have groupies I would be England’s biggest fan. I became obsessed when I discovered BBC America. I love How Clean is Your House? And Ramsey’s Kitchen but really love Top Gear and Dr. Who. I am a big fan of British humor and style.
This book is one of my favorite British finds. The author, the very witty and engaging Chris Rae is an Englishman living in my home state of Washington. Rae writes that once on holiday in the U S, he thought it would be fun to write a list of words familiar to him but unknown in America. The Septic’s guide is the result (sorry, you will have to read the book to find out what septic means). Rae has accomplished what he set out to do. The book is a fun sometimes laugh out loud guide to British culture and words. If you are looking for an armchair journey to England, I highly recommend you start with this book.
