A hilarious compendium of mishaps and misunderstands that could only happen to a Brit
Heel Britse problemen Reeks
Deze serie duikt in de unieke en vaak humoristische dilemma's die de Britse psyche definiëren. Het onderzoekt de talloze sociaal ongemakkelijke situaties en ongeschreven regels die het dagelijks leven bepalen. Elke aflevering biedt een geamuseerde kijk op een nationale obsessie met beleefdheid, toevallige sociale belediging en ingetogen emotionele expressie. Het is een geestige viering van tegenstrijdigheden, die gelach en een diepe herkenning van het nationale karakter oproept.

DO YOU SUFFER FROM VERY BRITISH PROBLEMS ABROAD? If you... *Carry emergency teabags in your money belt *Quietly tut at badly formed 'queues' *Cleverly avoid blisters by wearing socks with your sandals ...then you may have a serious problem for which there is no know vaccination. But don't worry: Rob Temple is here to explain the symptoms/make fun of you. (In the nicest possible way.) Critics called the first Very British Problems book 'not bad' and 'easy to gift-wrap', so in an attempt to outdo himself, Rob's taking us outside of our comfort zone. We're going to that alarming place where crisps don't quite taste the same and where ordering chips get you... well, crisps. We're going abroad. From the optimum number of times to carry out panicky pre-trip passport checks to the horror of returning home to a milkless house, this is an affectionate into the cultural quirks and strange obessions that make us all so very British - especially when we leave the country.
