In this world of global travellers-American holiday seekers, jetsetters, expats, and expat wannabes-there are plenty of helpful guides on the bookshelves with names like Speak Swahili In 15 Easy Lessons, How To Live And Work In Antarctica, Doing Business in Nunavut, Buying Retirement Property in North Korea, and the like. This guide does not even pretend to be one of those. What it does pretend to be, and hopefully will actually succeed in being, is a social guide for American Anglophiles who want to spend some time in Britain understanding the natives while not provoking gales of laughter and abuse in the process. A common assumption for English-speaking people moving to, or even just visiting, a different English-speaking country is that life will be a breeze simply because they (supposedly) speak the language. They're assumed to be able to completely understand and communicate with the British, and to always know what to do when and where and why-and how, for that matter. But British English is quite different from American English. The goal of this book is to give the reader a basic working knowledge of British language and customs from an American point of view.
